In a push to attract more students and generate money, Arizona State University is plunging deeper into online education, hoping that more than a quarter of its students will be exclusively in virtual classes within a decade. ASU, one of the nation’s largest public universities, projects 30,000 students will attend fully online by 2020, a tenfold increase from today. Tens of thousands of additional, on-campus students would attend partly online. Most of the online-only students would be older and attend part time, but a significant share, including younger students, are expected to go entirely online.
