Press Release Summary = Baptist Colleges Online was built for those students who
consider a faith-based college or university to be an important factor in their
decision-making process.

Press Release Body = "I often get calls from individuals asking what schools have
online programs," said Tim Fields, Director of Communications at the Association of
Southern Baptist Colleges and Schools (ASBCS). He used to have to spend a good deal
of time finding an accurate answer; today, though, that information is right at his
- and potential students' - fingertips.

Mr. Fields now refers inquiries to www.baptistcollegesonline.com (BCO). ASBCS has
been an important partner with Learning House, Inc. (www.learninghouse.com) in the
development of the Web site. The Baptist organization has been a client of Learning
House for years, and Learning House has long advertised the ASBCS schools for which
they have created online programs. With www.baptistcollegesonline.com though, the
company also lists ASBCS colleges offering online programs not developed by Learning
House.
The Web site, Mr. Fields said, will be immensely helpful to ASBCS in relating with
not only prospective students, but also with the organization's schools themselves.
He referred to it as a good recruiting tool, saying "it will be accessed heavily."
There are 51 association schools with online programs, and several are listed on the
new Web site.

"This has opened new doors for us that are important," Mr. Fields said. "The
demographics of our students are changing," he added, as more explore the realm of
online education. Many of the association's member institutions are small to
mid-sized schools, who now find themselves able to reach a far larger number of
potential students through the Internet.

The benefits of more promotion for members' online programs will be multi-faceted,
Mr. Fields said, providing more learning opportunities for students and a wider base
of students for the schools. "That's the goal," he said, "to continue to provide
outstanding education with a Christian perspective." "We are excited to partner with
ASBCS on this Web site," states Ian Minderman, Vice-President of Operations for
Learning House, Inc. "Students have ever increasing choices for their online
education needs. Baptist Colleges Online was built for those students who consider a
faith-based college or university to be an important factor in their decision-making
process. The advice and guidance provided by Mr. Fields has been invaluable in the
development of the site."
