Online Universities Doing Well In A Recession?

by Scott on June 30, 2009

I’d be curious to see the numbers on how the online colleges and universities are doing since the recession began.

I’d bet their numbers are up.

Why? Why not. Taking a MBA program for example online could save you $50,000 easily vs. a traditional brick and mortar program.

Take a look at a 2 year chart of Capella Education, which operates the accredited Capella University.

As you can see, they are holding up very well during the downturn. As I dig more into the financials, I’ll see if enrollment is up this year.
