Abstract/Summary:
In order to measure student satisfaction in distance education and traditional education a survey on student satisfaction was given to students in similar distance education and traditional education courses at Union County College. In addition, an evaluation of grades was done in the same courses to measure the students' outcomes. A positive correlation was found between the GPA of students in the distance education courses and the accumulated degree credits. It was also found that the cumulative GPA of students in traditional education courses was significantly higher than their GPA in distance education courses.
