Data from Eduventures, a research and consulting firm serving the higher education industry, suggests that the online market share of for-profit colleges and universities will continue to slow for the next few years while traditional non-profit institutions enjoy a resurgence.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) March 26, 2013

The reports author, Eduventures Vice President and Principal Analyst Richard Garrett, states: While Eduventures forecasts greater online market share for nonprofits in the medium-term, all types of schools should be wary of the risks of an increasingly commoditized online value proposition. With so many schools offering online programs, plus the rise of alternatives such as MOOCs, supply may outpace demand, meaning weaker prospects for most schools. Eduventures forecasts a for-profit resurgence longer-term, arguing that for-profits may be best-placed to innovate again and take online higher education to the next level.
