Women make up a good portion of students enrolled in online college classes. In the next three to six years women are expected to account for nearly 60 percent of the undergraduate population at colleges and universities, as well as a good segment of growth in the labor force. Many will complete their courses via a university distance learning degree program.
Many of the women enrolled in online master degree programs have community and family responsibilities and before online college classes and degree programs had rigid campus class schedules and child care to worry about. Into the 21st century, they said, online college alternatives allow them to "fit education into their work and family schedules, rather than trying to fit their lives into the schedules of traditional education", according to an American Association of University Women study. Scholarships, fellowships and grants for college are also available to make higher education more affordable for working women.
