MasterClass\u2019s Co-Founder Takes on the Community-College Degree<\/strong><\/a> — from wsj.com by Lindsay Ellis
\nA new, online-only education model promises associate degrees via prerecorded lectures from experts at Yale, NASA and other prestigious institutions<\/em><\/p>\n

Excerpts (emphasis DSC):<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

One of the founders of the celebrity-fueled, e-learning platform\u00a0MasterClass\u00a0is applying the same approach to\u00a0the humble community-college degree\u2014one based on virtual, highly produced lectures from experts at prestigious institutions around the country.<\/strong><\/span>
\n…
\nThe two-year degrees\u2014offered in applied computing, liberal studies or business administration\u2014will be issued by Golden Gate University, a nonprofit institution in San Francisco. Golden Gate faculty and staff, not the lecturers, will be the ones to hold office hours, moderate virtual discussions and grade homework,<\/strong><\/span> said Outlier, which is announcing the program Wednesday and plans to start courses in the spring.<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

For less than one-third the price of the national average college tuition, students will earn an associate degree plus a job-ready certificate from Google, IBM, or Salesforce<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

NEW YORK,\u00a0Sept. 7, 2022\u00a0\/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Golden Gate University\u00a0is launching\u00a0Degrees+, powered by\u00a0Outlier.org, with three associate degrees that reimagine the two-year degree for a rising generation of students that demand high quality education without the crushing cost. For annual tuition of\u00a0$4,470\u00a0all-inclusive, students will earn a two-year degree that uniquely brings together the best of a college education with a career-relevant industry certificate.<\/p>\n

Beginning today, students can apply to be part of the first class, which starts in Spring 2023.<\/p>\n

“Imagine if everyone had the option to go to college with top instructors from\u00a0Harvard<\/span>,\u00a0Yale<\/span>, Google, and NASA via the highest-quality online classes. By upgrading the two-year degree, we can massively reduce student debt and set students up for success, whether that’s transferring into a four-year degree or going straight into their careers.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

From DSC:<\/span><\/em>
\nAll of this reminds me of a vision I put out on my Calvin-based website at the time (To His Glory!<\/em> was the name of the website.) The vision was originally called “The Forthcoming Walmart of Education” — which I renamed to “EduMart Education.”<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

By the way…because I’m not crazy about Walmart, I’m not crazy about that name. In today’s terms, it might be better called the new “Amazon.com of Higher Education” or something along those lines. But you get the idea. Lower prices due to new business models.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
