Farewell eArmyU

In 2001, laptops were too expensive for most soldiers to purchase. College classes were offered mainly on physical campuses. And the notion of going to school online was foreign, and well, strange.

Ten years has turned the traditional notion of higher education upside down. Technology has created lecture halls on dining room tables and in barracks rooms. Students are logging in to class, rather than walking there. And eArmyU, well, it served us well, but the antiquated system has reached its retirement age.

In March, 2012, the program, the Army’s first foray into distance learning, will be no more.

Students can already access the new, improved version: GoArmyEd.com

The flashy new site is a one-stop shop where students not only research schools, but also apply for financial aid, manage their education records and receive support from education counselors.

The Army’s education program has grown exponentially since eArmyU was launched. Originally only 23 colleges were part of the program. Now, soldiers can enroll in more than 2,000 programs. Online, or distance learning programs, account for more than 72 percent of the enrollments.
