UND is also bursting at the seams in regards to on campus housing.
Rather deal with those things instead of yelling at clouds, ignoring that excelling in online delivery is going to be vital to be successful in the future.

Straight from the NDUS

Who's doing that? NDSU has turned it around on all of these fronts. I see happy people looking to grow further, not what you describe

Have fun tomorrow

Online is a no brainer. It keeps your revenue up, is more profitable and has a lower cost to deliver, not needing 50 million dollar buildings.

Also the market shows the biggest growth is going to be older adults who want to get a degree. They dont want to be on campus because they have families, jobs, etc

Lakes kind of ruined the online thing eh.


He probably regrets it now looking back. He could have started on the online baseball team.

That depends on the degree. Something like business can be done online. Engineering really needs hands on labs concurrent with lecture. It's a travesty the accrediting bodies aren't pushing back on this. NDSU has always centered around STEM, decades before that term even existed. Most STEM requires learning to use expensive equipment that individual students can't possibly be expected to have at home.

Yep. I got a finance degree. Much of that could have been done online. I found value in presentations and all that but the entire degree boils down to understanding how to do like 3 formulas.

I have a law degree, we did about 40% online (overall year) and bar passage rates...a test if minimum competence to practice...fell pretty hard as a result I think.

Certain degrees need to be in person without question.

UND's online engineering degrees do require some summer residency to complete lab courses.

Too bad that delipidated barn by Buxton, ND is long gone. That was an excellent UND Engineering senior design project and could have held the labs.

Note where I said "concurrent". They need to be together.

Do employers pay more to students who do them together?

They pay you more if you know what you're doing.
