Academics

Studying online: a substantial share study entirely online

In Fall 2023, 1,179 of State University of New York at Oswego's 6,756 students (17%) were enrolled entirely at a distance. A further 2,349 (35%) 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.
