Online University Enrollment Leaves Traditional Higher Education in the Dust
May 10th, 2006
Some terrific news for fans of online higher education: it's getting better and more common every day. Did you know that there is virtually no increase in 'traditional' college enrollment, but that online course and degree enrollment increase hugely every year?
While overall higher-education enrollment in the U.S. is virtually stagnant, online enrollment is skyrocketing, and the recent repeal of a federal rule requiring colleges to provide at least half of their instruction on campus will boost it more. By early 2008, one out of 10 college students will be enrolled in an online degree program, Boston-based market research firm Eduventures estimated last year.
With options such as increased financial aid, degree programs of all varieties and reputations, and daily-improving technology, online education shows no sign of stopping. Be sure to check out this inspirational article and consider your multitude of options.
