Hmm, certainly the trend is upwards regarding numbers. Some 1.98 million people enrolled on online courses in 2003, and the numbers were up to 2.35 the next year. It's predicted that by 2008 10% of all college students will be enrolled on an online program. The largest number of high school graduating students ever in the US is going to be the class of 2009, so there is going to be tremendous pressure to provide college courses in all kinds of different modes.
This pressure is really going to impact on MBA programs, as the demand for professional graduate degrees increases. Online MBAs will benefit from the move to make them mainstream along with other online programs, and capacity for good programs will be easier to increase.
