My experience getting my master’s degree reflects the article’s premise.
I took a class in social science research at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. It was a tedious helping of left-wing pap served up by a self-proclaimed Latina grandmother who, not surprisingly, graded on a curve, with women and minorities on the passing end and white men on the failing end. I looked at the $20,000 tuition fee for completing the degree and took my “incomplete” for the semester.
I found an online college for about one-third the cost. The classes were excellent. Political posturing was absent. I went in, learned a lot, came out with some interesting skills, and graduated in 18 months. It was all done at home - a plus when you live way out here - and there wasn’t a speck of time wasted.
I’m betting we’ll see much more of this in the near future.
Good for you!
