Online MBA ForumWednesday, May 17, 2006Online Advantages
Did you know that 9% of all degree enrolments in the US are for online degrees, and of those the majority are online MBAs? The Washington Post ran an article yesterday about online degrees, with some interesting issues attached about how it takes time for new ideas to be accepted particularly for professional qualifications, but that many people had started to see what great advantages could be gained from studying online.
It seems that the kind of people who study for an MBA are particularly innovative, and are attracted to the practicalities of working and studying online. So MBAs lead the field. With more and more institutions recognising the advantages of being able to offer programs to students who do not necessarily have to attend on campus, they are able to capture the audience of people who travel, work abroad and who are forward thinking. # posted by Mary @ 11:21 PM

Fascinating! I can only imagine that numbers will continue to go up as well. It’s only a few months ago that federal rules on subsidies for student loans were changed. Before, a school or college that did not teach at least 50% of classes on campus could not get their students to qualify for such aid. Now a purely online program (whether MBA or not) qualifies.

There was also a new law in Michigan a few weeks back. It doesn’t affect college or graduate studies like MBAs yet but I’m sure it will have a future impact. All high school kids must now take at least one online program to graduate. So at least in the future they’ll know what that form of study is all about. # posted by failingeconomist : 7:58 AM
