Each grade is scored on a scale of 0-100.
The website graded the Nicholls Online Political Science Program with an 86.73 and named the Nicholls program as the best in the south.
“We use our full-time faculty to teach all of the core classes, which is fairly upcoming for online programs. Another thing that sets us apart is the approach we take toward students in the online program,” said Dr. David Whitney, associate professor and department head of political science. “We do not distinguish between online and traditional students in terms of the investment and time we make towards their success. Nicholls Online isn’t a side job or an afterthought but is an integral part of our degree program.”
