Online university appoints new campus president

Herzing University-Kenosha, which opened for online students in September and unveiled its physical campus on November 2, has announced Krista Wills will become its campus president.

Wills is completing a masters degree in educational management, and holds an MBA with dual concentrations in management and human resources and a bachelors degree in psychology. Herzing Educational System (HES) president Renee Herzing has stressed Wills' background and experience in education administration which is important as the university continues to expand.

Herzing College was founded in Wisconsin in 1965 and over the years evolved into the HES which offers career-focused education through ten campuses in eight states and Herzing University Online to approximately 8,000 students each year.

There is a growing number of institutions throughout North American which offer convenient education options through online courses. In fact, enrollment in online education is expected to grow by about 18 percent in 2010, according to Gerry DiGiusto of Eduventures, a higher education research and consulting firm, quoted by Reuters.

Parents, professionals and individuals living in rural areas can save time and money enrolling in such programs in order to prepare themselves to switch careers.
