Abstract

This research examines the relationship between Mississippi’s statewide economy and the online enrollment statistics to major universities around the state. Online learning has been a growing trend in recent years and is becoming a cheaper alternative to some than going away to attend classes at a university while still getting a quality education. Therefore, it is important to consider the impact of Mississippi’s statewide economy to see how big of a role it plays into universities online enrollment rate versus their traditional enrollment. Several studies have considered the impact of online learning, but there is a lack of research regarding enrollment based on economic data.
