Top colleges and universities are rushing into online education, but the big news is the proliferation of a new breed of for-profit online institutions bringing Internet education to the masses. “The Internet will probably be the single most democratizing force in education,” says Columbia Business School Dean Meyer Feldberg, who envisions educational programs being routed through the Net to hundreds of millions of people. The largest online institution is the University of Phoenix (http://onl.uophx.edu/), with some 6, 000 students today and hopes of reaching 200, 000 students in 10 years. The University offers bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral degrees in business management, technology, education and nursing. The institution boasts that if you’re a student “you can earn your degree via the Internet whenever and wherever you want.” The University notes that its degree programs cost far less and may take some students far less time to complete. On the other hand, a Business Week survey of 247 companies found that only a handful would consider hiring applicants who earned their MBA degrees online. Whether that will change as for-profit online universities improve their offerings—and graduates prove their worth—is anyone’s guess.

low, rate of inflation. They say the increases are needed because of
a loss in value of university endowments heavily investing in common 1.______
stock. I am skeptical. A business firm chooses the price that
maximizes its net revenues, irrespective fluctuations in income; and 2.______
increasingly the outlook of universities in the United States is
indistinguishable from those of business firms. The rise in tuitions 3.______
may reflect the fact that economic uncertainty increases the demand for 4.______
education. The biggest cost of being in the school is foregoing 5.______

professional-school tuition) ; the poor one’s job prospects, the 6.______
more sense it makes to reallocate time from the job market to education,
in order to make oneself more marketable.
The ways which universities make themselves attractive to 7.______
students include soft majors, student evaluations of teachers, giving
students a governance role, and eliminate required courses. 8.______
Sky-high tuitions have caused universities to regard their students as
customers. Just as business firms sometimes collude to shorten 9.______
the rigors of competition, universities collude to minimize the cost to
them of the athletes whom they recruit in order to stimulate alumni
donations, so the best athletes now often bypass higher education in order to
obtain salaries earlier from professional teams. And until they were stopped
by the antitrust authorities, the Ivy League schools colluded to limit
competition for the best students, by agreeing not to award scholarships
on the basis of merit rather than purely of need--just like business
firms agreeing not to give discounts on their best customer. 10.______
