Abstract

Presently, community colleges are bursting at the seams. In 2011, community colleges turned away more than 400,000 prospective students. In the next six years, 63 percent of all U. S. jobs will require postsecondary education. Twenty two million new workers with postsecondary degrees will be needed by 2018. Community colleges are turning increasingly to online technology to increase capacity in order to meet the surging demand for higher education attainment. In this article we will look at the role of online education in the community college setting.
