Syracuse University’s 2018 budget projections, shows growth in online education programs - Michael Burke, Daily Orange

Syracuse University’s fiscal year 2017 budget and projected 2018 budget each feature a surplus and illustrate a growing presence of online education programs at the university, a University Senate report shows. The distribution of the university’s revenues and expenses outlined in the report closely mirror distributions in years past, but the report does highlight one new trend at SU: There has been rapid growth of online education in recent years. Tuition revenue from online graduate programs has more than doubled since 2015, a period of growth that coincides with the launch of partnerships between several of SU’s schools and colleges and 2U Inc., a provider of online education degree programs. http://dailyorange.com/2017/12/committee-report-outlines-syracuse-universitys-2018-budget-projections-shows-growth-online-education-programs/
