eCollege's unique Program Administration System is an integrated toolset that enables administrators to centrally or divisionally manage the overall planning, preparation and execution of online programs across multiple schools and campuses. The new advancements provider greater convenience by empowering administrators with a flexible solution that enables them to centrally create terms, create and duplicate single or mass courses, and manage enrollment, registration, communication and reporting processes. The advancements can help reduce operational costs and improve the speed and ease of processes such as large volume course creation and duplication.

"We continue to maintain the high level of program administration support that our customers rely on, but now they have more choices to make processes as efficient as possible based on their organizational structure and individual needs. Whether the institution chooses to have processes managed by its eCollege support team or the administrators themselves, the ultimate goal is still to keep administrative and other related costs down even as the school's online programs grow," continued Thorne.
