Traditional Universities' Online Degree Programs Preferred 2:1 Over For-Profit Providers - TMCNet

Surveys conducted by Online University Consortium indicate traditional universities remain the preferred choice for online education and degree programs. These findings were substantiated in a recent report by Eduventures, prompting the Consortium to help clarify the market by making its industry checklist available for public download. The list features seven factors for choosing online education, and includes buyer preferences and recommendations for what to look for in quality degree programs. Results from the Consortium's surveys of corporate decision-makers at industry events, such as the Society of Human Resources Management conference, suggest that when hiring and promoting, employers prefer candidates with degrees from traditional universities 2:1 over for-profit providers.
