Midway University

Midway University is an online school that supports both national and international students with fully-online degrees. The National Center for Education Statistics shows that 98% of graduate students at Midway study exclusively online. That number drops to 29% for undergraduates.

Midway University falls short in many of the categories on College Scorecard that students may use to consider it a good school. The lack of diversity is apparent, with 76% of the students and 89% of staff being white. The typical median salary earnings for Midway graduates are $8,000 lower than the midpoint for other four-year universities, while the cost of tuition is $4,300 higher. 

Even with that data considered, it's still an accredited school, which means that its programs and faculty have been evaluated for quality. Specifically, Midway University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) to award associate, baccalaureate, master’s and doctorate degrees, and certificates. 

OnlineU only includes accredited online institutions on its site.

Campus activity includes daytime programs and on-site residences that are only for women, and it's been that way since Midway University was founded in 1847. Today, however, both evening and online programs are co-ed. In the Fall of 2022, the entire student population was made up of 51% female and 49% male, according to the school's website.

Midway University is known for its various concentrations accompanying its online degrees. There are 6 concentrations alone that are available through the Master's of Business Administration. Its education degrees also feature several areas of emphasis, which allow students to train for their preferred grade level including elementary, middle school, and secondary education. 

The highest earning degrees at Midway are in the field of nursing, where graduates can expect to earn a median annual salary of $72,600, according to College Scorecard data from the U.S. Department of Education. Coursework for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN) is available 100% online, save for the two required practicums. The second highest earning degree is the online Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, with an expected salary of $44,700. 

OnlineU's Salary Score is another helpful tool for estimating degree earnings. This proprietary metric compares alumni salaries from different schools using the same degree. On a scale of 1 to 100, Midway scores a 33 at the bachelor's level and a 13 at the master's level.
