|
Posted By: Roy Beasley on July 12, 2014 FEATURED Content During the late May/early June 2014 time frame, the DLL conducted a systematic survey of the Websites of the nation’s 106 officially designated HBCUs in order to identify their online degree programs. -- 33 HBCUs offered online programs in 2014, which is 6 more than the 27 HBCUs that offered these degrees in 2013. -- HBCUs offered a total of 147 online programs at all levels, which is 27 more than the 120 programs they offered in 2012. -- HBCUs offered most of their degrees in areas favored by most colleges and universities for online degree programs. Thus 39 of the 147 programs offered in 2014 were in management (broadly defined), followed by Information Technology (20), Education (19), and Nursing (14). -- The chart shows that the number of public HBCUs offering online programs has grown steadily and substantially since 2006. As of 2014, exactly half, 26, of the nation’s 52 public HBCUs offered online degree programs. The chart also reveals that the number of private HBCUs offering online programs has barely increased, from 2 private HBCUs in 2006 to only 7 out of 55 private HBCUs n 2014.
