The New Year 2010 issue of In Trust included an article about the recent growth online theological education.

Now the wider world is also taking note of the impressive growth of religious schools that embrace online learning. Inside Higher Ed reports that more and more Christian colleges are taking advantage of the built-in loyalty that many Americans feel toward religious institutions.

Many of these schools are learning marketing and delivery tips from the most successful proprietary colleges like the University of Phoenix, which has 458,000 students. Among the schools profiled in the piece is Indiana Wesleyan University, which In Trust also described in the New Year 2010 issue.

Read the article in Inside Higher Ed, titled “Online, Christian Students,” here.

If you're affiliated with an In Trust member school, you can read “Time for Reflection” (about online learning) and “Launching in Tough Times” (about Indiana Wesleyan University). Both appeared in the New Year 2010 issue of In Trust. Not sure whether your school is a member? Check here.
