  well-established divisions (U.S. and Europe)

Current Trends

• Adult professional education has become a life
  long endeavor
• Businesses recognize the need for employees to
  improve through education and training
• Military will continue to outsource education
  and training
• Working parents want flexible access to delivery
  and classroom sites close to home
• Rapidly advancing technology requires
  re-education and training throughout a workers
  career

Technology is a critical component in the
effective delivery of course content for both
classroom and online delivery.

Distance Learning

• Demand for distance learning continues to grow
  rapidly

  the fall of 2004 (Sloan Survey)
• No evidence that the rapid rate of growth in
  online education will plateau
• Online enrollments increased 42 from FY03 to
  FY06

Courses taught by experts with real-world
experience who are leaders in their fields.
