engineering degree online : More Colleges adding online courses

Posted by bposton on October 24th, 2006 — Posted in engineering degree online

I think that the time has come that many colleges and universities are seeing the fact that
the popularity for taking classes online is growing like crazy.

And as a result, they’re willing to add more online programs to their rosters.

case in point:

Huntington University recently added its first online program.
Students can receive a master’s degree in youth ministry leadership, which recently earned accreditation
from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools.

The program has accepted from states such as Maryland, Texas and Florida.

Case in point number 2:

Indiana Tech just added its first online courses this fall but has offered
independent-study correspondence courses for about 20 years two decades.
Associate and bachelor’s degrees in business administration are available to students
who want to study on their own.

Case in point number 3:

Taylor University, in Fort Wayne Indiana, is working on adding bachelor’s and eventually
master’s degree programs to its offerings at the Center for Lifelong Learning.

Chancellor Duane Kilty had this to say about their online strategy:
“We’re heading there as aggressively as we can go. I would hope we would have four-year degree programs online by the fall of ’08.”

The university already offers individual courses and associate degrees online.

Kilty also said that Taylor’s program will be different from other programs in that it continues
the Christian education present on campus.

By the way, Kilty received his master’s in business administration from Ball State University with distance learning.
He never set fool on the Ball State Campus. And he has also has taught distance courses. So he know that students
can be just as engaging as those sitting in a traditional classroom.
