Note: The 2013 update for this note is in process.
Most of the data referenced in this report came from the DLL’s systematic reviews of the 105 HBCU Websites during the last weeks in May and early June 2012. Its principal findings are as follows:
- Steady Expansion
HBCUs continued their steady expansion into the market for online and blended degree programs for non-traditional students. In June 2012, 24 HBCUs offered online or blended degrees, compared to 19 in November 2010; and many HBCUs that had offered programs in 2010 added additional degrees by 2012.
- Public vs. Private
Eighteen public HBCUs offered online or blended degrees, compared to 6 private HBCUs – three times as many.
- Strategic Partners
Eleven of the 24 HBCUs, almost half, engaged online service providers as strategic partners to assist them in the development, marketing, and operation of their online or blended degree programs. The partners invested substantial funds to launch the programs in exchange for a negotiated share of the tuition revenue from enrolled students.
