Virtually unknown a decade ago, big online teacher education programs now dwarf their traditional competitors, outstripping(超过)even the largest state university teachers’ colleges.
A USA Today analysis of newly released U. S. Department of Education data finds that four big universities, operating mostly online, have quickly become the largest education schools in the US. Last year the four—three of which are for-profit—awarded one in 16 bachelor’s degrees and post-graduate awards and nearly one in 11 advanced education awards, including master’s degrees and doctorates.
A decade ago, in 2001, the for-profit University of Phoenix awarded 72 education degrees to teachers, administrators and other school personnel through its online program, according to federal data. Last year, it awarded nearly 6,000 degrees, more than any other university.
Traditional colleges still produce most of the bachelor’s degrees in teaching. But online schools such as Phoenix and Walden University awarded thousands more master’s degrees than even the top traditional schools, all of which are pushing to offer online coursework.
"We shouldn’t be surprised because the whole industry is moving in that direction," said Robert Pianta, dean of the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education. " The thing I would be interested in knowing is the degree to which they are simply pushing these things out in order to generate dollars or whether there’s some real innovation in there. "
For-profit universities have been the subject of intense examining in Congress. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, last week released findings from a two-year investigation showing that they cost more than comparable not-for-profit schools and have higher dropout rates. For-profits, the investigation found, enroll about 10% of U. S. college students but account for nearly 50% of student loan defaults.
Online education schools, many of which have open-enrollment policies similar to community colleges, say their offerings are high quality.
Meredith Curley, dean of the University of Phoenix College of Education, said many students are returning to complete their education after starting families and changing careers. Their average age is 33, she said, and many work while they attend classes. Becky Lodewyck, Phoenix’s associate dean, said teaching candidates must complete at least 100 hours of field experience. She said online classes are "incredibly dynamic" and have the potential to hold students more accountable than face-to-face classes. " You can’t hide," she said. " Everyone participates—everyone has to be fully engaged in the work. "
It can be learned from the second paragraph that four big universities______.

事实细节题。本题考查四所大学的基本信息。由原文可知,这四所主要在网上运作的大学已经迅速成为美国最大的师范院校,因此C)“在美国教育领域占据重要地位”为本题答案。A)“已经成为美国最大的网上学校”在原文中并未提到,故排除;B)“是美国最大的盈利性学校”与原文不符,故排除;D)“重点在于发展美国的高等教育”是对原文的误解,原文仅说这四所学校在教育学方面发挥了重要作用,并未提及这四所学校的重点发展方向,故排除。
