State leaders Friday launched an online only university designed to help adults who live in rural areas or whose work schedules make attending regular classes impossible to obtain bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Western Governors University Indiana, the first state branch of the nationwide Internet-based school, has established offices in Indiana and will begin enrolling students in July for classes that can begin as early as August. Gov. Mitch Daniels, who signed an executive order for the creation of WGU Indiana on Friday, said it will provide a convenient and affordable option — tuition is $5,800 per year, and students never have to make an in-person visit — to an underserved population.
