Enrollment in nonprofit education programs is growing while for-profit enrollment rates are dropping significantly, a new federal study shows. Affordability, flexibility and quality of education are some benefits of enrolling in an online program, Shai Reshef, president of the University for the People, said in an email. UoPeople is an online nonprofit, tuition-free institution. Online students are usually an average age of about 32 at the undergraduate level and 35 at the graduate level, he said. From 2012 to 2016, student enrollment in at least one distance learning course has increased by 1.2 million, according to Inside Higher Ed.
