"And how will we pay for this idea?"

Online degree -- class size of thousands, or tens of thousands, grade the classwork and tests by computer. (If you want the luxury of a more personalized college experience, complete with exercise spa, gourmet meals and bowls of free condoms, you can still buy it for $200,000.)

($28,565 at UMassdoesn't seem bad. How much is the average new car loan?)

We find that online classes are devastating to GPA’s. Too many students dog them because there is no structure.
It’s one of the reasons that online schools have an abysmal graduation rate. It takes a solid commitment to finishing the classes.

I get online classes for free. I took an online class on Java and quit about 1/4 through the class. I ended up teaching myself Java.
