Online Education Degrees On The Rise: USA Today Analysis (SLIDESHOW): In 2001, the for-profit University of Phoenix awarded 72 education degrees to teachers, administrators and other school personnel; last year, in 2011, it awarded nearly 6,000 degrees -- placing it ahead of every other university. By comparison, Arizona State University -- one of the nation’s largest traditional education schools -- awarded 2,075 degrees, most of them on its Phoenix campus. ASU ranked sixth in USA Today’s list of schools that conferred the most bachelor’s and post-bachelor’s education degrees in 2011. According to the newspaper’s analysis, traditional colleges still yield the majority of bachelor’s degrees in teaching. Still, online schools like the University of Phoenix and Walden University awarded thousands more master’s degrees than even the top traditional schools.
