[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh, I don't think they'd cost less.  They'd just jack up the price if it became really common.  In fact, I'm pretty sure most universities that offer online degrees cost the same or more.  [/quote]

Did you read the article? The online CS degree from Georgia Tech is $6,600 — far less than the $45,000 on-campus price.  The worst case scenario is that they will offer 2 price options like Georgia Tech but only allow you to use the prepaid semesters to buy online options.   If my DC want to take the other option to have on campus experience, I will need to pay extra to upgrade to the "Cadillac plan".  That said, it's all hypothetical.  All I want at the end of the day is to have better investment returns to to finance college educations for my DC.  They are only age 1 and 3 now.

What will end up happening is the smart students who take technical degrees like computers and engineering will opt for the cheapest online version while not attending the school and avoid social and partying. In fact they might free up time to start working early. Imagine college being for education only.[/quote]
