Increasing at more than double the national average, Penn State’s online learning enrollments are the result of the strong partnership between the World Campus and the University’s academic colleges and campuses. The number of students learning online through Penn State’s World Campus grew 22 percent, from 9,380 to 11,420, from academic year 2010-11 to 2011-12. Enrollments in online courses also increased 19 percent, from 39,219 to 46,693. “Penn State’s enrollment growth in online programs is more than double the national average of 10 percent reported in the latest Sloan Consortium survey,” said Wayne Smutz, executive director of Penn State World Campus and associate vice president for Academic Outreach. “Credit for this success is shared with Penn State’s academic colleges and campus partners. They collaborate with the World Campus to deliver their programs online.”
