Brad Fishbein

Brad Fishbein is the lead editor at BestOnlineCollege.org, where he is responsible for the site’s editorial standards and data integrity. His core focus is making sure every claim our guides make about salaries, tuition, job growth, and career outcomes is traceable to a primary source.

Brad came to education content through more than a decade in vocational training and the skilled trades, where he saw firsthand how much a credential decision can change a student’s life. He brings that practical, outcomes-first perspective to our online-college guides: every figure is sourced from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard, cited inline with its data year, and reviewed against our editorial methodology.

Editorial standards

  • Lead Editor: Oversees research, sourcing, and fact-checking across every program guide.
  • Data integrity: No invented or estimated statistics. Salary, tuition, and outcome figures come from BLS and College Scorecard, with the source agency and year cited on the page.
  • Transparency: Our ranking and data methods are documented and kept in sync at /about/methodology.
  • Background: Over a decade in vocational education and the skilled trades, informing a practical, ROI-first view of credentials.

Brad’s Goal for BestOnlineCollege.org

“My goal is to provide students with the most accurate, data-driven, and practical information possible. Whether you’re pursuing a nursing degree or starting an apprenticeship, you deserve to know exactly what the path looks like and what the return on your investment will be.”
