Age of Digital Learning

In the United States, the latest data shows that 5.5 million college students or 26% of the college student population are enrolled in online courses.  That number is dramatically escalating because of the tsunami of COVID, Delta and Omnicron cases flooding across the US and the world.  Top universities like Cornell are going remote and online once again.  Several new and important trends are beginning to surface about digital college learning and degrees.

Megatrends

First of all, a new study, that includes CEO surveys, by Northeastern University professor Sean Gallagher finds that CEOs are more receptive to hiring job candidates who have online degrees.  Because of the pandemic, which is now into its third year, online education has become much more of a norm.  It's considered as an effective, safer and acceptable route to a degree as opposed to sitting with hundreds of fellow students in a university amphitheater listening live to a professor, whom you could more safely watch online and on videotape without exposure to COVID.

Some Deep Discounting on MBA Programs

The accelerating online education trend is underscored by the fact that online enrollment in undergraduate degrees has increased 367% in the US in 2021.  Furthermore, a recent survey found that nearly 70% of US college and university students want more online classes.  Now with increasing competition among colleges to pull in the burgeoning number of online students, some competitive discounting on tuition is starting to occur.  An example is the University of North Texas, where for slightly more than $19,000 you can get an MBA degree online. By comparison, some online MBA programs cost $140,000. 

Online Education Grants

Other institutions are also offering very competitive tuitions and financial grants to reduce tuition.  And, some are waving the need for GMAT test scores as a qualification for admission.  The online undergraduate and graduate degree programs are becoming much more competitive, so it's an opportunity to shop around to get a very valuable degree for a career opportunity. Perhaps that new degree could help you to create the newest innovation to help the world in upcoming years.
