A Florida first: UF offering cheaper online degrees - Robert Nolin, Karen Yi and Scott Travis, Sun Sentinel

If you're a student, established professional or business owner, an initiative recently approved by the Florida Legislature may change how you pursue a college degree, advance your career or locate your company. All you need is a computer, time and the desire to learn. The University of Florida, the state's top-ranked public college, soon will offer 20-25 bachelor's degree programs fully online, at a cost cheaper than on-campus classes. It's the first such program offered by a Florida public university and if successful could expand to others. As of the spring term, which starts in January, it means you need never set foot in Gainesville to earn a coveted UF diploma. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/broward/fl-florida-online-education-20130519,0,7345928.story
