The Breadth of Online Learning

If you're just starting to look at online education opportunities, you may be surprised to know that nearly 3/4 of American universities have already put at least one course online!  And purely online colleges and universities are booming along with them.  You can easily take a course or degree program in almost every conceivable curriculum from astronomy to zoology and everything in between.

Let's take a peek at a small sample of the available online offerings from purely online schools to traditional colleges and universities...
 

Large Organization Online Learning

In addition to traditional schools and online institutions, giant corporations like General Motors, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Dow Corning, Dell, and IBM have set up their own online learning programs for workers.  General Motors University, for example, now offers over 1,300 e-learning courses to its 50,000 or so North American employees.  Likewise, the U.S. Army recently announced a plan to offer online learning to more than 150,000 of its geographically-dispersed personnel.

In short, no matter where you are or what your interest, there is likely to be an online learning program for you.  So, what are you waiting for?  Go find yourself an online course!
