Many traditional college administrators are concerned that the difficult economic times in which we find ourselves will result in shrinking enrollments.
Post high school trade, career, and technical school personnel are experiencing the same fears, and with good reason.
Meanwhile, online college and online university enrollment managers have no such worries. For the most part, they are seeing dramatic enrollment increases. Here are five reasons why.
1. Online education eliminates the need for relocation. Students can live where they are and earn an online degree from a college or university hundreds of miles away.
2. Online degree students can move whenever they wish. If they choose to move, for any reason, it won't slow their degree progress.
3. Might your work hours change? It doesn't matter if you are attending an online college degree program because you are not locked into fixed class meeting days and times.
4. With a very few exceptions, students can begin an online degree program during any month of the year. The choice is theirs, not the college or university in which they decide to enroll.
5. Enrolling in an online degree program spares students the time, cost, and inconvenience of commuting to and from a college campus.
It is no mystery why online education is flourishing. Traditional colleges simply can not offer adults the same flexibility and convenience that online colleges and universities do. - 16928
