Online Students Have a New Option

Starting in the fall of 2007, the University of North Carolina will begin offering all of their online degree programs through one unified system. According to NBC17.com:

The website is a one-stop shop. It offers more than 130 online degrees, certificates, and licenses offered by the 16 UNC campuses.
 
It also offers special sections with information tailored for community college students and military personnel and their dependents based in North Carolina.
 
This collection of online degree programs is one of the largest in the United States.
 
More that 1,000 online courses will be available this fall to qualified students.
 
Initially, the website will offer more than 90 online degree programs, 35 bachelor’s degrees, 55 master’s, 2 doctoral, more than 40 online certificate and licensure programs.

UNC hopes to compete with big-name online universities such as the University of Phoenix. Students graduating from UNC’s online school will receive a diploma that is identical to that received by students graduating from one of their 16 traditional schools.
