Most online programs are private, for-profit companies that provide services for universities worldwide. However, some services like edX and most in the ‘Other’ category are established by the universities themselves. All of these services are free and generally not offered for credit.

Number of Courses by Online Program

Figure 1: Number of courses offered by each online program.

 

The following subject areas are categorized as computer science (programming and web technology), social sciences (culture, law, government, and philosophy), healthcare (medicine, healthcare policy, and life sciences), analytical science (physics and chemistry), business (including management), economics, education (K-12, technology, and physical education), mathematics (statistics, calculus, and algebra), environmental (energy, climate change, and ecology), art/music, English (literature and writing), and applied sciences (engineering, city planning, and electrical engineering). Some outliers that fit into none of these categories include Spanish and public speaking.

Figure 2: Number of institutions that offer courses in each subject area.

 

Online programs are divided between students at the university level and professionals seeking more training in their occupation. The only outlier was Broward College which offers college preparatory courses at the high school level. The vast majority of courses, however, are designed for university students as a non-credit supplement to their traditional course load.
