As many colleges and universities are beginning to offer more online courses, the University of Kansas has actively expanded its online and distance education options for students. Many students attending the University of Kansas enroll in a combination of traditional classroom instruction and online courses. According to an article on University Bound, the University of Kansas already offers many online courses and degree programs, and the university sees great potential in adding more online programs for its students and faculty members.

According to the article, students attending KU enroll in online courses to maintain a full-time course load which can help these students graduate on time. In addition to helping students graduate on time, faculty members are offered incentives to create online courses. Many faculty members receive an additional stipend for teaching online courses as long as the students complete a certain percentage of the online class. By expanding its online programs, KU is helping students graduate on time and providing faculty members  incentives to improve the quality of KU's online programs.
