Directory of Online Schools & Degrees
Online colleges have become increasingly popular with students--more than 5.6 million of them took at least one online class in the fall of 2009, according to the Sloan Foundation 2010 Survey of Online Learning. That figure represents a growth rate of 21 percent from 2008 enrollment figures. State budget cuts, burgeoning class sizes, competition for seats, and the desire to avoid lengthy commutes and high fuel and parking costs all have pushed more students into choosing distance learning to fulfill their educational goals. Online education has also become more prominent in the business plans of for-profit institutions as well, with 63 percent of reporting institutions saying that distance learning is a crucial aspect of their long-term strategy.
Benefits of online schools
Class size has long been a problem at colleges and universities throughout the U.S. Students at online schools typically can choose classes with no waiting lists, and since educational programs are pre-established, colleges can add students without increasing staff size--crucial in time of budget cuts and staff reductions. Many online schools offer tuition at lower rates than nearby college campuses as well.
Distance learning enrollment
When the national recession hit in late 2008, colleges across the nation saw an increase in enrollment from out-of-work students seeking career retraining and post-secondary degrees. At the same time, schools began to see funding levels decrease and in the ensuing years, colleges and universities were forced to eliminate staff. Students flocked to online schools to pursue their studies, and the Sloan Foundation report hints at the beginnings of competition for online education. Nearly three-quarters of all institutions surveyed report an increased demand for online classes and programs.
