Private colleges are growing more accepting of online education, according to a survey of chief academic officers conducted by the Council of Independent Colleges and the Learning House. Compared to a similar survey conducted in 2013, the share of private colleges that offer five or more fully online programs has grown from 15 percent to 25 percent, and while about half (48 percent) of colleges say some faculty members are still skeptical of online education, 38 percent say they have overcome that barrier. The Learning House and the CIC surveyed 169 members of the organization for the study. Other findings include: More private colleges offer at least one fully online program. This year, 61 percent of respondents said they do so. One-quarter of colleges report making more than $1 million in revenue from their online programs.
