The top 5 barriers to
online-only degrees
Parents with an online-experienced student who would recommend…
These students take the
majority or all of their
classes online. This
population will be familiar
as the original group that
online education grew
to serve
True
believers
These students uniquely
emphasize the experiential,
social, and emotional bene-
fits of education. To them, it
does not matter greatly
which form their education
takes, so long as they earn
a degree for personal and
social advancement
Experience

online learning meets
their high standards
and offers benefits
beyond that of
traditional classrooms
