Many institutions look to online programs as a solution for improving student access and increasing degree completion rates. However, very few are strategic when planning and developing these programs.

This webcast will walk you through a process for making high-level decisions to ensure that your institution is ready to expand its online offerings. In doing so, we will concentrate on areas that are critical to ensuring your institutional success. In addition, our expert speaker Vickie S. Cook will discuss the most critical questions you need to consider and answer throughout your program development process. You will leave with a workbook to use with your own programs.
