The Cost of Online Education: Leveraging Data to Identify Efficiencies
In the fall of 2017, the University System of Georgia (USG) embarked upon a robust study to determine the cost of delivering online education at each USG institution. An in depth analysis related to the cost of online course and faculty development; technology and infrastructure; support services and; administrative services was conducted on each campus. At Kennesaw State University, the cost study helped to inform a revised budgeting process and identify areas that were being subsidized by eTuition. The results were used to identify efficiencies and address college affordability concerns.
