Online University

A university delivering degree programs primarily or entirely through internet-based courses.

Online universities deliver degree programs primarily or entirely through internet-based instruction, offering flexibility for students who cannot attend traditional on-campus programs. The online education landscape ranges from fully online institutions (like Western Governors University and the Open University UK) to traditional universities offering online degree options (Arizona State Online, Georgia Tech's Online MSCS). The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically accelerated online learning adoption, and many employers now view online degrees from accredited institutions as equivalent to traditional degrees. Accreditation status remains the critical quality indicator, as unaccredited online operations are a common form of diploma mill.
