This paper investigates the effect that Covid19 has had on student demand for six specific educational modalities in the Woodbury School of Business (WSB) at Utah Valley University (UVU), in Orem, Utah, USA. Those six learning modalities are Face-to-Face (F2F) , Hybrid, Independent Study, Internship, Live Interactive Video, and Online (ONL). Even though the WSB had been migrating towards more online offerings, the Covid19 disruption that occurred from spring semester 2019 and had mostly ended by Spring semester 2021 forced a massive migration to online. The two-hypothesis evaluated in this paper are whether that change to mostly online will revert to the pre-Covid19 ratios of live and online; and second, that students are choosing online over live for rational reasons, despite their preference for live courses.
