RE: The Internet has rendered college irrelevant for all but a few specialized professions.

Yes, but will major employers recognize that?

OK. So find a job with a minor employer, help grow the business, and eat the lunch of the major employer (whose pensioners can whine when they end up subsisting on Social Security).

Meanwhile, the rest of us in the general economy will be richer because of it.

Yes. My son-in-law is getting his MBA at the University of Arkansas mostly via online classes. He meets class only one weekend a month. This type learning will only grow as overpaid higher ed administrators and obscenely expensive bricks and mortar “learning temples” continue to price themselves out of the market.

We designed the Walton EMBA to fit into your busy schedule. Our innovative, part-time program leverages classroom instruction with online learning activities and interactive team-based problem solving.

To complete the 38-hour program, our students attend classes part time, taking 6 hours of coursework per semester and attending class just one Saturday per month for two years. Even when classes are not in session, you have access to all of the Walton College’s learning resources from anywhere in the world through our extensive technology services and support.
