Online Courses at Union College are Expanding
Union College's first online course started in May 2004 and after great success expansion plans for the online program were underway. The online course enrollment has more than tripled in the last year.... Dr. Lou Ann Hopper, Dean of Graduate Studies at Union College, had the following to say in regards to the success of the online courses: “I am pleased with the level of satisfaction our students have about the services Learning House enables us to offer. Given that some of our students have to travel a good distance before reaching our campus facilities, online courses have helped tremendously. The graduate school at Union responded to student desires for more online classes by adding more Learning House classes to our schedule. These classes have been met with great success.” Dr. Edge is also pleased about the expansion and had this to add, “We are excited that the programs are being embraced by the students enthusiastically and look forward to offering new advanced programs for Union to reach students nationally and globally.”
