University of Illinois Springfield

From Researching Virtual Initiatives in Education

The University of Illinois Springfield (UIS) supports delivery of fully online degree programmes.

UIS is one of three campuses of the University of Illinois, enrolling only ~5,000 students a year. However, it is considered impressive in e-learning, having won many awards and distinctions for a small programme.

In 2007, it offered 220 online classes to about 4,000 students (see http://www.uis.edu/newsbureau/people/2007/10/uis-receives-national-award-for-online.html) - and 16 bachelors and masters degrees completely online.

Per UIS "at a glance", there are approximately 220 full-time faculty members and 4900 total students enrolled, including about 2,000 Graduate Students.

Courses are available in degrees ranging from bachelor's to master's, in a wide range of topics, with nearly all courses available online (see http://www.uis.edu/online/ for a full list of online offerings).

The UIS main office is in Springfield, Illinois, US.
