Texas Tech may soon have an entire college dedicated to electronic learning. A Lubbock Online article reports that a subcommittee at the university has already given their approval and the regents will soon come to a decision. Here's a blurb:

"Two of the college's primary goals would be to increase the number of credit hours Tech students take electronically from about 5 percent to 10 to 20 percent and ensure all students have access to electronic courses, Tech Provost Bill Marcy said.

"This is financially a very good deal for Texas Tech," Marcy told regents."

As traditional colleges expand their online programs, more structure is often needed. An entire department can help take care of the technical and organizational concerns that often arise.
