Each community college highlighted on the rankings list received a score based on several important factors including retention rate, graduation rate, and percentage of online enrollment data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). The number of online associate degrees offered was collected from school websites and considered in the ranking score as well. All ranked schools scored 70 percent or higher.

During the current 2018-2019 school-year, 33 percent of Wiregrass students are taking at least one online class. Programs Wiregrass offers online include: Accounting, Business Management, Business Technology, and Fire Science Technology (all offered as either Degree or Diploma level).

Wiregrass also offers many core classes online such as English and Math.

Kelli Douglas works full-time and is enrolled in the online Business Management Degree program. She shared, “Online courses at Wiregrass Tech was the best fit for me since I work 45+ hours a week and maintain a family life.  I am able to take almost all of my classes fully online. The ARC (Advising and Retention Center) staff are the best, they are willing to help in any way they can to get you in the right classes when you need them.”
