Online education growing as colleges offer more classes to meet student demand

Karen Farkas:

Joshua Falso made his first visit to Bowling Green State University on Saturday.

He toured the campus, donned a cap and gown, and graduated.

Falso, 25, of Cleveland, earned his bachelor of science degree in technology by taking classes online while he served in the Air Force, including a stint in Iraq.

Online education has ballooned in the past 10 years as millions of students of all ages earn certificates, licenses and degrees -- from associate through doctorate -- from any location where they can use a computer.
