UIS enrollment up 2.3 percent over last spring - CHRIS DETTRO, State Journal-Register
Students majoring in fully online degree programs are at an all-time high for a spring semester, said Ray Schroeder, director of the Office of Technology-Enhanced Learning. There are 1,177 online degree majors this spring, an increase of 98 students from last spring. UIS offers 16 programs at the undergraduate and graduate levels that are fully online. Just more than half of enrolled students are taking at least one online class this spring. Schroeder said UIS has begun to offer more “blended learning” classes (where some of the class meetings are on campus and some are online). That initiative, funded by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, has resulted in a significant increase in blended enrollments — 237 students taking at least one blended class this spring, compared to last spring’s 88. Schroeder said 155 UIS faculty members are teaching at least one online class.
