Academics
Studying online: most students study entirely online
In Fall 2023, 245 of Ottawa University-Kansas City's 431 students (57%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 168 (39%) 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.
