The State University of New York is setting out to become the largest provider of online education in the country, Chancellor Nancy Zimpher will announce today in her State of the University address. The 64-campus system will launch “Open SUNY,” a network of online courses available to all its students, regardless of which campus they attend or where their financial aid comes from, Zimpher told Gannett’s Albany Bureau on Monday. She will deliver her address this morning in Albany, outlining SUNY administration’s plans for the year. SUNY anticipates tripling the number of degree-seeking students in online education programs in three years. The number of students enrolled now is hard to pin down, Zimpher said, but SUNY’s data professionals are working on an estimate.
