Abstract	Maryland higher education institutions serve over 360,000 students each year, and enrollment projections indicate that the number of students will continue to grow in upcoming years. While the number of students is expected to increase, so too is the diversity of the student bodies as Maryland's population grows. Alternative educational methods, such as distance education, play increasingly important roles in serving this growing population. Understanding the role that distance education plays in serving the student population is important in determining additional ways in which these methods could be used to better serve Maryland students. This report examines distance education activities at Maryland's postsecondary institutions during Calendar Year 2017. This survey was administered in Spring 2018 and included questions regarding the number of courses taught using distance educational methods, students' type of enrollment, and credit hour completion. The information included all instructional activity from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017. Institutions were also asked to identify any programs that could be completed entirely via DE methods. These questions roughly correspond to the sections included in this report. Fifty institutions, including community colleges, four-year public colleges and universities, state-aided independent colleges and universities, and other private institutions responded to this survey.
