Finally I can get the half a degree in supply chain management I’ve dreamed of from my youth!

Glad you posted this development.
Great offerings at MIT’s open course ware site:
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/
ecornell offers educational certification as well.
These kinds of programs came be very helpful for adult learners who don’t have a degree, or are looking to change careers.
Very good disruption of traditional University over priced monopoly.

One would have to live online to get enough credits to graduate.

Maybe when I retire, I can take those classes and claim I have a degree from MIT. :-)

"The new credential represents half of the university's one-year master's degree program in supply chain management...."
Uh, what is supply chain management? Is that learning how to manage a chain or is it supplying chains to management? Maybe it's management of supplies, which is basically a stock boy.

I’ve taken a few of the free Hillsdale college courses on the constitution and federalist papers.

He’s a Cardassian. Or rather, he played a Cardassian on TV, much as he played the villain in “Dirty Harry”.

How many millions of Americans have a free smartphone because they live in a low-income household? For any who have a data plan, they can access Google and a substantial fraction of all the knowledge of humanity. And yet, it doesn’t matter. The vast majority don’t care. They prefer ignorance. Our wise progressive overlords continue to insist that the answer to poverty and the lack of work ethic, not to mention the dependency mentality is more education. Yet, every ObamaPhone owner has the world at their fingertips and it just does not matter.

It would be great if red states would take a leadership position and change job requirements for state jobs which require degrees to also have an online free equivalent certification. This would open the door to other employers doing the same thing, and would bring down the costs of education as universities would start to have true competition in online programs.
