According to Garrett, and online learning analyst for Eduventures, faith-based schools seem to have an advantage over others in the online education market.

After coming to close financial ruin, Grand Canyon University was forced to "reinvent itself as a for-profit online university." They have 36,000 students, of which 90% are distance learners.

When I was in college, I read through the writings of Francis Schaeffer. One of the things that struck me was his contention that ideas (particularly those concerning truth) move through the world in stages. In The God Who Is There, Schaeffer presents a staircase (below his famous line of despair) and notes that the shift in truth affects philosophy first, then art, then music, then into the general culture, and finally into theology. I’ve heard it put more broadly concerning cultural trends – first they hit the academy, then a decade later they permeate popular culture, then about ten years after that the church finally embraces the trend.
