Washington, DC, June 17, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The University of Southern Queensland has been named among the top online universities in the world according to the 2010 edition of the Best Worst Online Degree Programs. The ratings eBook, published annually by Global Academy Online, a Washington DC university builder, is offered free to the public.

The University's ratings are based on the research compiled by e-education expert and longtime pioneer in online higher education, Dr. Fred DiUlus, the CEO and founder of Global Academy Online. He notes that the University of Southern Queensland has forged a reputation in Australia and all of Oceania as a leading provider of online distance higher education. "The University can count itself among the elite from over 300 rated online colleges and universities from around the world," states DiUlus.

The University of Southern Queensland was started in 1967 and became a distance education powerhouse by the turn of the century.
