Lawrence University is one of six colleges to receive grant money to develop course involving online instruction.
The $335,000 grant comes from the Teagle Foundation, which is based in New York City.
University leaders say they will work with Albion College, DePauw University, Grinnell College, Hope College and Wabash College to develop what they call hybrid courses. Teams of faculty from several disciplines are tasked with developing the courses during the rest of this year, with the first courses begin offered in spring of 2016.
While the courses may include some online components, the instruction will still be mostly face-to-face.
