20 Best Online Universities for 2016 and Their Websites


Online colleges and online education more generally have seen an enormous increase in student.  Ten years ago, America saw around 2 million higher education students learning online. 


That number has now almost quadrupled. According to a 2015 report by Babson Research titled Tracking Online Education in the United States, today the number of college students learning online exceeds 7 million. With the overall higher education student body in the U.S. currently at 21 million, that means one out of three college students is taking at least one course entirely online.
