Online enrollment is “skyrocketing”, says a Wall Street Journal article published May 15, 2006.

This bucks the trend of flat lining overall postsecondary education enrollment in the U.S. According to Boston-based market research firm Eduventures, by next year one in ten college students will be enrolled online.

Thanks to a repeal of a federal rule, colleges are no longer required to provide at least half their instruction on campus. This is a boon for public schools both ways: online programs crank out millions of dollars in revenue which, in turn, funds university operations.

In short, a win-win scenario.

Another source of increased enrollments is employers, who applaud the quick, economical convenience that distance learning offers employees. On average it takes only 2-3 years to complete what is arguably the same level of quality education.

Pricing is a mixed bag. Some online universities actually charge a higher rate than online universities because they aren’t state subsidized. On the bright side, some online colleges charge a flat rate to students of all residencies, thus nixing high out-of-state tuition. Likewise, the cost in time and money for commute may bring the overall cost of online education equal to if not lower than tradition college.
