Even Before Pandemic - UNLV NewsCenter Even Before Pandemic - UNLV NewsCenter Posted: 05 Oct 2020 12:00 AM PDT Even before the coronavirus pandemic propelled UNLV into remote learning in the spring, online courses at UNLV were prevalent. "There's been a steady decrease in the number of students that have never taken an online course," said Elizabeth Barrie, the director of the Office of Online Education . She recently presented during The State of Online Education webinar event. It highlighted some of the initiatives and cross-campus partnerships that contribute to student achievement and shared how faculty prepared for online learning through the summer. She noted that 95% of students who graduated in spring 2020 with an undergraduate degree had taken at least one online course. And, compared to past years, there has been an increase in the number of students who have taken more than 30 credits, or two semesters, online.

Cal State Fullerton tops the list as the Best Online College in California, and the Best Value Online College according to California Online Colleges' list of 1,506 online degrees, released this month.
Cal State Fullerton is No. 1 on the list of The Best Online Colleges in California, leading a list of 20 public and private universities. The schools were judged on factors including program quality, student support and outcomes, and especially for online support. CSUF's student success programs and online support excel beyond other schools. "For that reason, some big name California colleges that you might expect on another 'best of' list aren't here, because they do not offer online programs, or offer little online support," according to the site.
About 5 percent of Cal State Fullerton's 40,000 students are enrolled fully online. Undergraduates may select from three fully online bachelor's degrees, in business administration, humanities and social sciences, and sociology. The university's Extension and International Programs also offers online certificate programs in data science, human resources management, digital marketing, education and teaching, and geographic information systems. Titans also have the option of participating in CSU Fully Online, which allows students to enroll in online courses from other CSU campuses.
The Best Online Colleges lists rank more than 1,500 online degrees from 71 colleges and universities, using data from The Bureau of Labor Statistics, The National Center for Education Statistics, The U.S. Department of Education, and AcademicInfluence.com. The site is focused on online and hybrid educational opportunities in California, where data suggests that nearly 70 percent of online students enroll in schools within 45 miles of their homes.
