College-Bound High Schoolers Finding Favor with Online Choices - Dian Schaffhauser, THE Journal

College-bound high school students are showing more interest in the blended model of instruction and less interest in going for the all face-to-face approach. That finding surfaces in the latest edition of Eduventures' annual "College-Bound Market Update Report." Each year the higher education analyst firm surveys high school sophomores, juniors and seniors to gain an understanding about how they choose a college and what their intentions are. This year the survey questioned more than 20,000 students between December 2014 and January 2015. Of the respondents, nearly seven out of 10 were female; and about a third were first-generation college prospects. http://thejournal.com/articles/2015/04/30/college-bound-high-schoolers-finding-favor-with-online-options.aspx
