Online Education Grows by Almost a Million Students

Eighth Annual Sloan Survey of Online Education Shows Economy Still Driving
Growth


The 2010 Sloan Survey of Online Learning reveals that enrollment rose
by almost one million students from a year earlier. The survey of more
than 2,500 colleges and universities nationwide finds approximately 5.6
million students were enrolled in at least one online course in fall
2009, the most recent term for which figures are available.

Other report findings include:
  • Almost two-thirds of for-profit institutions now say that online learning is a critical part of their long term strategy.

  • The 21% growth rate for online enrollments far exceeds the 2% growth in the overall higher education student population.

  • Nearly one-half of institutions report that the economic downturn has increased the demand for face-to-face courses and programs.

  • Three-quarters of institutions report that the economic downturn has increased demand for online courses and programs.
