16-year old Kayla Heard will soon be the youngest graduate from Washington State University. And the point to be noted is that she got her bachelor degree without ever visiting the college. She completed her studies through online education degrees by the University.
These days, online courses and online degrees are becoming common. Many people prefer to seek online degrees. The online degrees are becoming popular for young and old people.
WSU was the first among the state universities to offer online degrees, starting in 1992. Currently, WSU provides eight online degrees entirely.
5 million students were enrolled nationally in online colleges in 2008, according to a study published in 2010.
But educators had no idea that students will not step into the colleges if they are enrolled for online courses.
