Two new surveys reveal that the number of online programs is increasing at many private and public colleges and universities, which can lead to higher enrollment and new sources of revenue. The research by Learning House, which was co-sponsored by the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC) and the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU), also indicates that currently, state universities have integrated online higher education more fully than private institutions. Forty-eight percent of state colleges offer at least five fully online degree programs, while only 15 percent of private colleges do so. “There has been a lot of discussion about the impact of MOOCs,” said David Clinefelter, Chief Academic Officer at Learning House and a co-author of the reports. “But in these two surveys, we discovered that institutions, private and public alike, are more focused on offering additional online programs.”
