ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — The University of Georgia is increasing the number of undergraduate courses it offers online.

The Athens Banner-Herald (http://bit.ly/UfPcur ) reports that the school will feature more classes online beginning this summer.

Georgia has trailed many other schools in moving into online learning. For years it has taught only a limited number of online courses or certificate programs.

But vice president Laura Jolly says Georgia is now making it a priority to develop a stronger online curriculum.

This summer, the university will teach 34 courses popular with or required of undergraduates.

The tuition rate for the new courses hasn't been set.
