Concerns about Economy Drive Growth in Distance
Education |
Potential online students name cost as the
number two concern they have related to higher
education online. Indeed, according to
GetEducated.com's surveys the only thing that
concerns consumers more than cost is credibility.
GetEducated's national affordability surveys
show that students should be concerned about cost.
Potential elearners can use online learning to cut
their educational costs in half -- sometimes even
greater.
Students who choose face-to-face
learning are often limited to two possible colleges.
In many cases there may only be one college within
commute distance that provides the particular degree
or career credential a student needs.
Distance learning expands options considerably,
making programs nationwide available to wired
students.
How much can a student save
by going online and comparing options before they
enroll?
Tens of thousands of dollars...
Based on GetEducated.com's 2008 national surveys of
online college costs:
Low: $5,000
High: $65,000
Average: $24,000
Distance learning also reduces cost by
eliminating the need to gas up and commute to a
college campus. Savings on gas and childcare
can amount to several thousand dollars.
On
the flip-side, 34% of college chief financial
officers (CFOs) recently told The Independent 529
Plan, a financial aid agency, that launching more
online learning is one of the top three strategies
they might employ in this slow economy to help
residential campuses reduce overall operating costs.

You asked for it.
Now we've got it.
GetEducated.com's Best Distance
Learning UnderGraduate Schools: Healthcare & Nursing:
a complete, free guide to accredited online bachelor
degrees in healthcare and nursing.
34 accredited
colleges responded to GetEducated.com's invitation to
profile their online degrees in this new free guidebook.
As demand for healthcare workers and nurses has
exploded nationwide so have the sheer number of colleges
and universities that offer distance learning majors in
health career areas.
The Bachelors in
Science in Nursing (BSN) is the number one health
specialty degree online students seek, and now the
number one distance health degree GetEducated.com
profiles.
Nursing is not, however, the
only healthcare major available online.
GetEducated's new free guidebook profiles hot career
opportunities for those who earn Bachelor degrees in
Health Management and Administration, Health
Informatics, Community Health, Public Health,
Alternative Medicine, Nutrition and Wellness, Radiology,
Lab Sciences and Sonography.
"The names of most
of the colleges profiled in the new guide will be
instantly recognizable to most potential online
students," says Melissa Eubank, Director of Information
Services, who oversees GetEducated's national survey
efforts.
Name-brand public schools like The
University of Minnesota, The University of Delaware, The
University of Texas, and California State University,
account for the bulk of degree providers in the
healthcare niche online.
For-profit colleges, such as
Capella University and Kaplan University, always eager
to meet market demand, also appear in the new guide to
online health degrees.
GetEducated.com's editors plan to begin rating
and ranking online bachelor degrees in the health
careers area later this year. The editors have
just completed ranking online masters in health for
affordability and have issued a national Best Buy graduate
degree list for cost conscious students.
