ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota State Colleges and Universities system is aiming to deliver a quarter of its college credits through online courses by 2015.

     Gov. Tim Pawlenty and MnSCU Board of Trustees Chairman David Olson announced the goal in a series of news conferences Thursday, including one at the Capitol.  Pawlenty says the goal will modernize college coursework and  help bring Minnesota into the iPod age.

     Olson says the 32-campus MnSCU system is committed to increasing the number of Internet-earned credits, which reached 9.2 percent during the last academic year.  About a quarter of MnSCU students took at least one online course.
