"When you are a "non-traditional" student, you're an adult, you have family, a job, other responsibilities, online learning is almost a necessity. You don't have the time to drive to campus and sit through a two- or three-hour lecture. That's just not a possibility. So the advent of  online learning is really one of the reasons why non-traditional education has blown up over the last 15 years."

With more than 1,100 of their 2,000 students enrolled in their online program and another 500 high school students in their dual enrollment program, Ohio Christian University knows every student's educational journey is different. In this podcast episode, Dr. Rob Reynolds talks with Jon Tomlinson, the Dean of Business and the Online School for Ohio Christian University. They talk about what makes a successful online program, the importance of instilling values in students, and Jon discusses his own family's experience with dual enrollment.
