Students learning from afar - Erica Pippins, Montgomery Advertiser
Many schools of higher education in the area are seeing a rise in the number of students who are opting to complete courses and degree programs in cyberspace instead of the classroom. Distance learning is any type of program that allows students to do coursework outside of a campus setting, but in more recent years it's come to reflect the myriad bachelor's, master's and doctorate degree courses offered online. Local college officials say Web-based curricula have grown in recent years, especially among non-traditional students with busy schedules who like the convenience of working at their own pace. The United States Distance Learning Association estimates there will be more than 2.3 million students in the nation taking distance learning courses over the next few years. Troy University is already experiencing the online enrollment boom.
