The more than 4,000 colleges and universities in the United States offer many different educational experiences. For hundreds of years, young people have come to these schools to learn new things and find direction in life. But now, with the help of technology, the way knowledge passes from teachers to their students is changing. In February 2016, the Babson Survey Research Group reported that 28 percent of all U.S. college students took at least one class over the internet. The research group, part of Babson College in Massachusetts, studies all levels of education across the country. Yet, having students take a few online classes during their college years is not the only change technology is driving. Many U.S. colleges and universities now offer full degree programs online. This opens up all kinds of possibilities for students around the world.
