ONLINE DEGREE FACTS

The unemployment rate for college graduates in the U.S. is 4.2% compared to 8.3% for those without a degree.

Over 4.6 million students were taking at least one of the many online college classes offered during the Fall 2008 term.

With over 3,000 colleges offering degrees online, according to a recent article in Human Resources Manager Online, an online resource for HR professionals, it was reported only 2% of these schools offering online degrees to students were believed to be legitimate and valuable to the person earning them. This means only 60 universities out of 3,000 were viewed as a true degree by HR recruiters receiving a whopping 90% acceptance rate for job applicants.

From 2006 - 2007 there were 11,240 online degree education programs developed and offered by private and public universities for students. A full 66% of these could be completed entirely online.
