9% of degree programs are online enrolments, according to the Washington Post. That's quite an impressive growth for a form of education that was not in existance some 20 years ago. The growth of online programs is impressive, and it looks like the rate of growth is likely to increase year on year for some years to come.
Interestingly it's taking time for some of the more traditional re-brick universities to accept this new mode of study, but the technology institutions are beginning to offer masters degrees online. Some professional bodies have problems with acceptance, however they are starting to accept that if the online programs are offered by bodies that they accept traditional degrees from, they have to consider that the standards for online degrees are the same.
