Liberal arts school West Virginia Wesleyan College recently became the first undergraduate institution to solely accept online applications.
Some applications are .pdf files that can be downloaded, filled out, and mailed.
Others, such as Wesleyan's, are filled out and submitted completely online. We're at a time when access is becoming more universal. It's a trend that goes beyond the application process. The e-application is only one of the strong moves Wesleyan has made toward the digital education revolution. The school, which has 1,500 students, provides all new enrollees as well as faculty with laptops.
