Champlain College will slash tuition by half for online undergraduate degrees and certifications in an effort to boost digital enrollment.
Starting this fall, the cost for online learning will be $318 per credit, college president Donald Laackman announced at a press conference Tuesday. Many adults have the ambition to earn a post-secondary degree, Laackman said, quoting results from a Champlain-commissioned national survey conducted last year.
“But they view college as out of reach due to costs and student debt,” he said. “We call this the hope gap.”
