Online courses seen as pillar to $13K degree - Nick Clunn, Tech Page One

A three-year, $13,000 bachelor’s degree announced this week by Texas education officials relies heavily on a statewide online course as a means of delivering the program at such a low cost. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board announced the start of the Texas Affordable Baccalaureate Degree Program on Wednesday, a week after a soft launch at South Texas College and Texas A&M University-Commerce. The colleges collaborated with the board over the past several years to develop the program. http://techpageone.dell.com/industries2/education/online-courses-seen-pillar-13k-degree/
