Content: As of 2012, at least 7.1 million students took one course online, according to the Babson Survey Research Group. US News and World Reports as of 2014 that 5.8 million students were enrolled in at least one online course. This was a 4% increase from the year before. The perception of all online degrees also has changed because many top-ranked universities are offering online degree programs, as well as massive open online courses, or MOOCs. With schools as distinguished as MIT, Duke, University of North Carolina and Stanford offering online degree programs, it is only natural that online degree programs have a higher status in the eyes of employers. There are still some more traditional employers who may not accept online degree credentials, however. These are people who are resistant to change and traditional in terms of education and qualifications. But they are increasingly in the minority in recent years, the evidence suggests.
