Online and distance learning opportunities have opened doors for many students around the world. However, not everyone is cut out for this mode of study, which often requires additional motivation, focus, and time management skills.
In a recent IHE article, there were some rather surprising statistics that illustrate this point:
“Fewer than half of students at the largest nonprofit online institutions earn a degree after eight years. Is it an unfortunate reality or a cry for accountability?”
“Part-time, first-time students in online programs have an even harder time achieving completion. At both SNHU and Grand Canyon, only 14 percent of that population in the IPEDS cohort earned an award after eight years. At Liberty, 19 percent did.
The average eight-year national completion rate for all students is around 65 percent, according to a December report from the National Student Clearinghouse.”
