Thousands Expected To Attend In-Person Graduation Ceremony For On-line Degrees
Wow. I don't know why I'm shocked, I just am... :-)
But given the fact that more Computers Science degress are earned through Strayer University and DeVry Institute of Technology than any other university system in the U.S., I shouldn't be surprised at all.
Marianne Kolbasuk McGee writes in InformationWeek:
Although they completed their coursework via the Internet, more than 3,700 students from across the world are expected to travel to Phoenix, Ariz., to attend graduation ceremonies of the University of Phoenix Online Friday and Saturday.
The record number of students attending this year’s graduation ceremonies at the America West Arena, home of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, earned undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees from the online school over the last 12 months.
This year, approximately 155,000 students are attending online classes offered by the University of Phoenix Online, says its CEO Brian Mueller. Among the most popular degree programs at the school are business, management, IT, health care, and education, he says.
