Who Is Studying Online (and Where)

Thanks. The numbers don't seem to add up, but I assume it's because many students are part-time and stay enrolled for many years. And schools that didn't make the list.

Some schools are Nationally Accredited, some have multiple campuses (like WGU - I wonder why they didn't merge them all into one campus like they did for WGU). The numbers are skewed as they're just giving readers a glimpse of the numbers at many of the schools that offer online courses. It gives enough of a small picture or window to show what's happening with online education.

I think they should have a field for indicating an enrollment increase or decrease over the previous year (using arrows or something). Not a surprise but, it's not just the universities offering online courses, as many colleges are popping up with them as well. Further to that, I think they just did a "sample list" of schools that have 7,500 students or more taking online courses and not a long comprehensive one.
