COVID-19 has thrown a wrench into the traditional fall college schedule. Colleges across the U.S. are faced with the challenging decision of whether to start on-campus classes or continue with online instruction. Either way, it’s certainly a tough call. Some colleges are yet to decide how they are going to proceed in fall while others have made tentative plans.
The Chronicle of Higher Education has collected information on which colleges have made announcements to their upcoming schedules. (And update it regularly). Take a look below at a list of universities and colleges that are opening their campuses, and ones that are staying online.
