The University of Missouri in Columbia, Mo., will invest $2.5 million to expand the university’s online degree offerings. More than 9,150 students enrolled in online undergraduate and graduate courses in the past academic year, generating enough revenue to pay for the new initiative. Currently, the university has five undergraduate degree programs and 61 graduate certificate and degree programs that are either offered in part or completely online. Jim Spain, vice provost for undergraduate students and interim provost for e-learning expects to add 10 to 15 undergraduate or graduate degree programs by 2014.
