Borderless Online Degrees

Abstract

Every worker needs postsecondary training to enable nations to develop strong economies as automation replaces the need for low-skilled workers. A high school degree no longer qualifies students for entry-level jobs. As developing countries struggle to build and finance the campuses and staff needed to meet the growing demand, borderless online degrees are an affordable, scalable solution. The degrees also create new international market opportunities for all higher education at a time of reduced financial support and declining enrollments and enable all postsecondary students to have an international learning experience. The task will be to create a virtual learning class of the same quality and student success as found on campus. This chapter introduces benefits, challenges, and solutions of borderless online education.
