Jones International University, the first online-only university, is winding down and will close next year because of declining enrollment and competition, the school said Thursday. The Centennial-based school notified students and faculty this week and said it won’t close until it has helped every student graduate or transfer to a new school. “We examined a number of operational strategies and determined that none would be sufficient to turn around the market dynamics,” chief operating officer Bryan Wallace said. Jones faced competition not only from startup schools but traditional universities moving courses online. There was also the economy.
