Online education is the new norm.

The health threat from COVID may be over but its impact on higher education is still going strong. The pandemic triggered a major shift to online learning that is quickly reshaping the future of higher education in this country and beyond.

According to the latest federal data, there has been a 50% increase in the number of U.S. students regularly logging into their computers for their classes since 2019. As a result, more universities are offering more online courses and adding more online degree programs than ever before. Some brick-and-mortar schools even switched to online entirely.

Today, a majority 54% of college students took one or more of their classes online. This is the highest percentage of students studying online ever.

The reality is that online education is the new normal and if a student doesnt take advantage of online learning they will be behind the times. Because UoPeople is completely virtual, our students will have the online learning expertise that todays employers are looking for.
