Online Program Development: A Deep Dive Look at Data from RNL's New Report on Online Students
Online students have very specific preferences for their online program. They often decide to go online because a more traditional program doesn't fit in your lives. With the degree of "choice" that they have today, successful programs must meet those expectations. But what are they looking for?
In February 2022, RNL conducted a survey of more than 1,600 individuals who actively searched for an online program in the last year. Our new Online Student Recruitment Report is built around 10 challenges for institutions surfaced in the data.
Watch this webinar as we do a deep dive into the data on program subjects, formats, and structures and have conversation about what it means for institutions.
Here's what we talk about:
- Why online has become so critical to enrollment growth
- Subject areas on the rise
- Levels of study with the biggest opportunities
- Preferred schedules and formats
