Academics
Studying online: a small share study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 37 of Meridian Institute of Surgical Assisting's 788 students (5%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 751 (95%) took at least one distance course alongside in-person study.
Distance-education figures count STUDENTS enrolled in Fall 2023, not programs on offer. "Exclusively at a distance" means a student took only distance courses that term. A college with few or no such students may still run online courses or an online degree, so a low figure is not evidence that online study is unavailable, and a high one is not a judgement of quality either way.
