TALLAHASSEE, Fla.—An evaluation team comprised of online learning experts and staff at the Board of Governors conducted the comprehensive review and scoring this month to select the company that will present several options to expand the number of university graduates through the use of online degree programs.

The $270,000 funding for this contract and consulting work was appropriated to the Board of Governors by the 2012 Legislature and signed into law.
