Virtually unknown a decade ago, big online teacher education programs now dwarf their traditional competitors, outstripping(超过)even the largest state university teachers’ colleges.
A USA Today analysis of newly released U. S. Department of Education data finds that four big universities, operating mostly online, have quickly become the largest education schools in the US. Last year the four—three of which are for-profit—awarded one in 16 bachelor’s degrees and post-graduate awards and nearly one in 11 advanced education awards, including master’s degrees and doctorates.
A decade ago, in 2001, the for-profit University of Phoenix awarded 72 education degrees to teachers, administrators and other school personnel through its online program, according to federal data. Last year, it awarded nearly 6,000 degrees, more than any other university.
Traditional colleges still produce most of the bachelor’s degrees in teaching. But online schools such as Phoenix and Walden University awarded thousands more master’s degrees than even the top traditional schools, all of which are pushing to offer online coursework.
"We shouldn’t be surprised because the whole industry is moving in that direction," said Robert Pianta, dean of the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education. " The thing I would be interested in knowing is the degree to which they are simply pushing these things out in order to generate dollars or whether there’s some real innovation in there. "
For-profit universities have been the subject of intense examining in Congress. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, last week released findings from a two-year investigation showing that they cost more than comparable not-for-profit schools and have higher dropout rates. For-profits, the investigation found, enroll about 10% of U. S. college students but account for nearly 50% of student loan defaults.
Online education schools, many of which have open-enrollment policies similar to community colleges, say their offerings are high quality.
Meredith Curley, dean of the University of Phoenix College of Education, said many students are returning to complete their education after starting families and changing careers. Their average age is 33, she said, and many work while they attend classes. Becky Lodewyck, Phoenix’s associate dean, said teaching candidates must complete at least 100 hours of field experience. She said online classes are "incredibly dynamic" and have the potential to hold students more accountable than face-to-face classes. " You can’t hide," she said. " Everyone participates—everyone has to be fully engaged in the work. " [br] According to the findings released by Tom Harkin, for-profit universities______.
选项
A、account for a large part of students loan defaults
B、cost more than not-for-profit schools
C、have more dropouts than not-for-profits
D、have higher enrollment rate than not-for-profits
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。由定位句可知,汤姆·哈尔金公布了一项调查结果,该结果表明盈利性大学比类似的非盈利性大学学费要贵,而且它们的学生辍学率也更高。该调查还发现盈利性大学招收的大学生占全国的10%,但它们无力偿还贷款的学生却占全国的50%,因此A)“占了无力偿还贷款学生的比例的一大部分”为本题答案。B)“花费比非营利性大学多”和C)“辍学率比非盈利性大学高”是对原文的理解错误,原文中提到和同类学校相比,盈利性大学花费较多而辍学率高,但不是说任何盈利性大学都比非盈利性大学花费多或是辍学率高,故排除;D)“比非盈利性大学的入学率高”无法从原文推知,故排除。
