BOULDER, Colo. | The University of Colorado plans to offer its first fully online bachelor’s degree this fall.
The Daily Camera (https://bit.ly/1wC7wPq ) reports that CU will start by offering an online psychology degree program and hopes to add at least 25 online degree programs in the next three years, including master’s degree programs.
Boulder chancellor Phil DiStefano and leaders from the university’s other campuses unveiled the plan Thursday during a regents’ retreat at CU President Bruce Benson’s ranch near Silverthorne.
They say it will make the university competitive with Colorado State University, which offers online degrees through a separate, online-only campus called CSU-Global, and others. CU doesn’t plan to create a separate online entity but will instead offer more online offerings at each of its campuses taught by its regular faculty.
