Virginia College Online Passes Enrollment Milestone
The online college passed the 2000 student mark for the Fall 2007 quarter.
[USPRwire, Mon Oct 29 2007] Virginia College Online, one of the country's premier online schools for advanced degrees, is currently celebrating a significant enrollment milestone. The online college passed the 2000 student mark for the Fall 2007 quarter. It's a major milestone for the college, which is a relative newcomer to the cyberspace education market.
Virginia College is an established school with eight traditional campuses in five states including Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee and Texas. As the need for non-traditional options for students increased, the college realized that they could provide the same high quality coursework and individual attention using the Internet that it provided at their physical campuses. When they developed and implemented a selection of online courses for associates and bachelors degrees, they received immediate interest, often from older students and those who were working and wanted to pursue a degree while remaining employed. Due to overwhelming demand, the college soon added an MBA program.
Vice-President of Admissions Darrel Hanbury explained, “Our unique mix of programs enable students to pursue careers in rapidly growing fields. This is key to our quick growth. We offer associate, bachelor and master degree programs in areas like Healthcare Services Management, Criminal Justice and Computer Network Cybersecurity. All of these programs are on the cutting edge in their industries. The fact that they are so relevant in today's workforce is one reason that we've so quickly achieved an enrollment in the thousands.”
Virginia College Online continues to invest heavily in the newest technologies to make their online school programs easy to coordinate and participate in. The school also provides an exceptional mentoring program with plenty of personnel to ensure that the learning experience is positive and beneficial. Virginia College Online matches every online student with an individual Student Service Representative who will assist him or her throughout their enrollment to make sure they have everything they need to be successful.
“With enrollment in our online school such a robust part of our success, we intend to continue offering outstanding programs and support for our online students. The milestone we achieved when we passed the 2000 student enrollment mark only affirmed the importance of our commitment to providing exceptional online degree programs,” stated Hanbury.
