At a time when higher education is essential for succeeding in a global economy, America finds itself at a crossroad. We have a vast university system that can’t accommodate the demand because the cost is prohibitive. The bricks and mortar campus simply doesn’t scale. The alternative is a disruptive game – changer that requires low investment and self- directed learning. It’s online learning, and it’s growing at warp speed.
