Evolution of Higher Education Infographic
Higher education has come a long way. From 3500 B.C., when wealthy families provided education for boys only, to the late 1980s when the first was launched. Consider the developments of culture and society during the Middle Ages or the basic computer systems that allowed for the first remote student-teacher interactions.

Today there are hundreds of online degree programs, with millions of students being engaged all over the world. There is no doubt that history has paved the way for the growth, accessibility, and variety of online programs and higher education options that exist today.
