Being able to pursue your education online allows you to
participate even while deployed and TDY serving your country.
A new report released in Noember 2006 by The Sloan Consortium, a
group of colleges pursuing online programs, estimates that 850,000 more students
took online courses in the fall of 2005 than the year before, an increase of
nearly 40%. Last year, the group had reported slowing growth, prompting
speculation the trend had hit a ceiling.
