We are in a very interesting time in higher education. With the economy the way it is, we are seeing a huge growth in online (masters degree) students. The market is indicating the "for profits" (Kaplan, Phoenix, etc) are in a much better position to capture these students than non profits are. Students find masters online education more accomodating than their in class counterparts. The non-traditional graduate student typically is married, has a family, and a full time job. I have also seen a lot of folks involved in business careers or laid off from business careers come back for a masters in online education (teaching) or nursing. The point here being is that these folks find those industries very secure, versus the high pressure, unsecure nature of the business world.
