摘要:As virtual education degree programs proliferate across the world, facilitated by advances in computers and communications technology, traditional universities face a challenge in keeping up with these changes or being left behind. From the students' perspective, the challenge is deciding on the quality of a virtual education degree program, due to lack of accreditation for such programs. As these programs require tremendous investments to create the required infrastructure, it is imperative that educational institutions understand student needs before implementing such programs. Previous studies have examined student perceptions based on online courses that were completed by them. This study is unique as we present a proactive approach to examining student perceptions towards virtual education degree programs.
