Save for its only campus in Davenport, Iowa, all of Kaplan University's classes are taught over the Internet. With 21,000 students -- up from 264 in 2001, Kaplan has become one of the nation's larger online institutions in less than five years.

''In general, for-profit universities are very innovative and entrepreneurial,'' says Sean Gallagher, an Eduventures senior analyst. ``The general idea is to offer education that is convenient, accessible and relevant to what consumers and employers want. So they are very nimble and launch programs very quickly.''

''Most employers view any degree you receive as an accomplishment,'' Webb, 24, says. ``Basically, how you achieve a degree doesn't matter. It's what you can do with it that matters.''

Webb, who graduated from Kaplan University last month, says his bachelor's diploma led to a raise from his current employer. He's working on obtaining further computer certification, which he hopes will -- along with his diploma -- lead to employment at a large company.

I'm not surprised this was a Miami Herald article. Those new 660 jobs in Fort Lauderdale are a big, big deal here. Our Director of Student Services here at Keiser College used to work there; he says it's okay.
