Eastern Michigan University and Washtenaw Community College have bolstered efforts to attract non-traditional students through online offerings in recent years as credit hours for in-state students have been on the decline. MaggiAnn Monroe is the kind of “non-traditional” student that colleges and universities are trying to attract to their online degree programs. Monroe, 36, graduated as a licensed practical nurse eight years ago before earning an associate degree in nursing from Kellogg Community College in 2015. Today, she works as a registered nurse at Henry Ford Allegiance Health in Jackson. After completing her first shift work and driving home, she makes dinner for her children before putting them to bed. When the day is “done,” she gets back to work earning her bachelor of science in nursing degree from Eastern Michigan University. She does her work online.
