Online Learning Classes See a Surge in Interest During the Struggling Economy - Marketwire
As the economy struggles to rebound, colleges and universities are seeing a surge in interest. According to a June 2009 report from the National Association for College Admissions Counseling, a majority of schools (62%) are seeing an increase in the number of inquiries and applications they have received. eLearners.com, a web resource of EducationDynamics, which connects prospective students with online classes, has experienced this as well. In fact, for online education and teaching programs alone, interest has increased by nearly 60 percent from January to March of this year, compared with the last three months in 2008.
