[quote=Anonymous]It was an interesting article, but I agree that I wouldn't call these bachelor's degrees. I do a lot of hiring and would never hire someone with this over someone with a traditional degree. It does sound a lot more like those professional trainings you have to go through on a topic like sexual harassment or workplace safety where there are recorded messages followed by a little quiz at the end to make sure you were paying attention. The fact that there are no class discussions is a huge difference, since a big part of the learning experience isn't just learning facts, but rather having ideas debated and having your opinion challenged. That actually mimics part of workplace life and helps to create useful interpersonal skills. This sounds like a utilitarian option for those who just have to have college in some form listed on their resume, but when you really look at it it's not at all the same education. I think it should be called a certificate rather than a degree. [/quote]
