HOBOKEN, N.J. - Stevens Institute of Technology's online learning unit, WebCampus, continued its steady climb in enrollments in the first half of this academic year, surpassing 1,200 online students, including registration from the fall and part of the summer.

"WebCampus is well on its way to reaching its goal of 2,250 enrollments for the fiscal year," said Vice President Maureen Weatherall.
