Currently, the estimated number of students who are studying for their degrees online, whether undergraduate degrees or advanced courses such as a master of public health degree, is around 3.5 million, according to Learning House Chief Academic Officer, David Clinefelter. Due to the sheer enormity of these figures alone, it is vital for academic institutions to not ignore the growing need for online education. Most online students are most acquainted with a traditional college degree template, and are often less aware of alternative pathways to achieving their academic goals. According to the survey, only around one-third of participants were aware of competency-based education, and fewer than one in five of the students surveyed understood anything regarding alternative pathways such as micro-degrees, boot camps or massive open online degree courses.
