Arizona State University (ASU) has the third largest online enrollment among public schools with some 30,000 students taking at least one ASU class online. It has been offering fully online degrees for more than a dozen years, and their website says they now offer “more than 150 highly respected degree programs available 100% online,” making ASU both an early adaptor to online college programs and a large provider. In April, the ASU Action Lab, which studies online and other technology-enabled education systems and models, released a study of online learning called Making Digital Work. By putting college classes and programs online, they are available to more tuition-paying students and more students equals more money. But it’s the report’s offer that online programs reduce operating costs that stands out.
