Remember the report I told you about that showed an increase in online enrollments?
Well I thought you might like to know that this increase is being seen across the country
at many universities.
Take Ball State, for example.
The Ball State School of Extended Education has a 9 month independent learning program and a ten-week fast track program, The independent learning program has about half of its classes online and allows students to work at their own pace in a nine-month period. The fast track program has all of its classes online and students have to finish their work within the 10 weeks.
Ball State is reporting that registration for the online independent learning programs is increasing. The online independent learning programs were started in 2005, and offer the entire core curriculum. Students must also complete two minors that the school of extended education developed.
Online enrollment has almost doubled at Ball State. However, they are seeing more graduate level students that undergraduate students at this time.
Jim Flowers, professor and director of online education in the Department of Technology, said the department’s two master’s degree programs skyrocketed in enrollment numbers. He said offering online courses gave an advantage because of different perspectives from students around the country and world. Indiana does not require a master’s degree for education, so Flowers said Ball State can service a greater population of students.
He commented that the graduate students who are online are students who have already done teaching, and have already established houses and families, so they’re able to provide a different perspective to things.

Interested in the highly specialized field of Aerospace Engineering?
Here are a few of the colleges that offer online Masters degrees in Aerospace Engineering, starting with the newest program: Georgia Tech
The GT School of Aerospace Engineering currently offers two different master of science (MS) degrees.
The first is the “Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering” degree and is generally referred to as a “designated degree.”
The second is the “Master of Science” degree which is referred to as an “undesignated degree.”
What’s the difference between “designated” and “undesignated”?
Well, according to their website, the designated degree requires that you must have completed all academic course work which is required for a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering degree.
Here’s the list of other schools that offer a Master’s degree in the Aerospace Engineering field (or in that general area):
