Dive Brief:
-
Colleges that participate in a multistate reciprocity agreement for online education see growth in the number of students who enroll in distance learning courses, according to a new analysis.
-
Institutions that work with NC-SARA — the organization that controls the U.S.’s sole such reciprocity agreement — enroll an estimated 46 more students annually in fully online coursework compared to colleges that do not, the report from the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association found.
-
For-profit colleges and those with existing significant online enrollments do not benefit any more than other institutions from joining NC-SARA’s network, according to the research.
