Indiana University seeing fast growth in online courses

(WISH) – The American Medical Association has come out against the Anthem-Cigna merger, and Indiana University sees fast growth in its online courses.

The American Medical Association and several consumer groups called on a New York regulator to reject Anthem and Cigna’s proposed $53 billion merger.

They are concerned it will stifle insurance competition and lead to more costly, lower quality healthcare across the state.

A judge has said there will be no ruling on the merger until 2017.

In other business headlines, enrollment in Indiana University online courses and programs has continued its rapid growth this year.

The university said some 27,000 IU students and one in every four students on the seven campuses administrated by the university, are taking at least one online course this fall.

Faculty on all IU campuses have collaborated to develop courses and new online degree programs.
