[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Columbia has a ton of in-person degree-mill, cash-cow master’s programs that admit anyone. It also has multiple “revenue streams” like the “General Studies” program that gives students little FA & treats them second class.

Penn, Columbia, Cornell and Harvard all have a bunch of bullsh*t online master’s degrees that cost an arm & leg. Harvard & Penn have “extension schools.”

[b]However, I’ve heard Princeton hasn’t bought into any of that crap. They are the strictest on who is allowed to even audit a class. [/b][/quote]

OH lord, Jesus - thank Christ! For real. [/quote]

Yes, thank them for keeping their standards high instead of diluting their brand with a bunch of cash cow revenue streams like the other Ivies have.[/quote]

Yes, how dare these institutions of higher learning actually expand access to more knowledge.  The horrors. It’s much better to pull up the drawbridge for the sake of maintaining exclusivity.

Yes, an $80,000 Master’s in Film, Social Work, Photography, Liberal Arts, Library Science, Education, Library Science or English is totally worth it. You absolutely couldn’t get the same jobs you’d get with an MA in Social Work from Penn v. an MA in Social Work from Old Dominion or Shippensburg. You will also certainly make more with an MA in Social Work from Penn than you would with one from elsewhere, and certainly enough more than the $80,000 that you spent to buy one. [/quote]
