The recent approval of the new CSU-Colorado online university and the increasing number of public universities such as the University of Massachusetts that launched online learning programs only prove that online degree studying or online degree program is the most practical and feasible solution to meet the future education growth and economic development needs of every state.
This is indeed very true because university expansion by means of constructing a new and bigger physical campus is tremendously expensive than creating a quality and efficient online learning system. The rising demand for work force with higher education can be served when every university whether private or public will offer online degree programs. In short, the expected doubling-up of demand for higher education for the coming decades can be greatly solved by distance or online education.
The value of degrees that are earned online can not be disputed anymore as more and more traditional universities are opening their doors to online learning approach. In fact, there have been researches that proved the effectivity of high quality online programs which are evidently supported by growing number of online learners that have attained their career advancement shortly after completing their graduate or doctorate degrees through online universities.
