Affordable Degrees Served Up Online and in Hybrid (“Blended Education”) Models, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

For several years, students at a wide range of colleges and universities have been taking at least a few courses online, typically in low-level, basic classes.  Today, however, a growing number of students are getting a large part (or even all) of their classes online, at traditional nonprofit colleges and universities, or at for-profit schools.  Online courses afford students the ability to set their own schedules and are typically less expensive than traditional colleges and universities. 
A strong trend is the growing number of online undergraduate and graduate programs available from brick-and-mortar campuses, whether completely via the internet or as a hybrid of online instruction and in-person courses.  The campus closings during the Coronavirus pandemic accelerated this trend dramatically.  Some states are attempting to use hybrid education, relying heavily on online methods, to enable students in certain university courses to obtain an undergraduate degree for less than $10,000.  Miami-Dade College is a pioneer in this regard. Florida college costs are already among the lowest in the nation.
