Am I missing something, or is this a little off mission for a public university in the U.S.? UC Denver is a land grant school, right?
When I think of how I had to stand on my head to get my Master's, this ticks me off.
Another question: Is this program open to American citizens? I know many who would like to graduate from college but can't attend daytime classes on campus because they are working.
Well, hey, if it prevents the willy-nilly issuance of student visas, at least that's positive.
My question here is "who funded her education"? I have looked into distance learning and earning credit for life experience. This is still a costly route. Are there that many wealthy individuals in China that they can afford the cost of an american college education? Something is not right with this picture.
At first glance, this is somewhat annoying, but, I think it is overall pretty good.
First, you don't have communist Chinese students poking around the United States.
Second, it is a really efficient way to teach.
Third, it is cash money for the university.
Fourth, it gets us out of the liberal, "Poor little third world persons, you must all come here and be taught about everything here in America."
Horsefeathers, I say -- with the internet, online journals, and FedEx there is little or no need for international students coming from all over the world to come here, see our way of life, get jealous, hate us, spy on us, overstay their visas, then disappear into the woodwork.
Get them all the hell out.
