As thousands of students graduate from college, thousands more are signing up — and many are signing up online. By next year, one in 10 college students will be enrolled in an online degree program, according to Eduventures, the leading research and consulting firm for the education industry. eLearners.com, a leading Web site that connects prospective students with online learning opportunities, is confirming a spike in the interest in online education by virtue of the number of prospective students visiting the site—which hit record highs. The most popular online degree programs people are seeking are:

Associate degree programs:
