U.S. Chamber of Commerce Gives Regents Online High Marks for Innovation in Online Learning

June 20, 2012 ---- The Institute for a Competitive Workforce (ICW), an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce released the third edition of its Leaders & Laggards series, "A State-by-State Report Card on Public Postsecondary Education." The report examines public colleges and universities in all 50 states, including four-year and two-year institutions, and is designed to provide an in-depth evaluation of data and a careful analysis of post-secondary performance and policy across states.

According to the report, "The Regents Online Campus Collaborative is one of the more robust efforts to promote online learning in the country, resulting in an above average grade of B. The initiative provides a clear path for students to register at a "home campus" and then take online courses at four- and two-year institutions across the state."
