Curry College embraces online MBA classes amid enrollment, revenue declines - Eric Convey, Boston Business Journal

Facing significant enrollment challenges in two graduate programs, Curry College moved some MBA offerings to the Internet beginning this academic year and recently began to insist that masters of education students take part in what’s called a “cohort” system designed to encourage faster graduation. A spokeswoman for the Milton college said the changes are a response to shifts in student demand. She said the move also helps explain drops in traditional on-campus enrollment, as fewer students take occasional courses without clear plans for competing their programs. http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/2015/09/30/curry-college-embraces-online-mba-amid-enrollment.html
