University of the People: Online, Accredited, Tuiton-Free University

Post by MachineGhost »

I'm trying to wrap my head around this.  So it takes an application process as well as the same amount of time as in meatspace, i.e. 4 years for a Bachelor's Degree.  Good or bad???

Isn't "Business Administration" typically the worthless one?

EDIT: The catch.... 
Whilst it is the university’s mission to provide affordable, tuition-free education for everybody, there is a nominal $50 Application Processing Fee for all applicants as well as a $100 Exam Processing Fee for each exam. Based on this, an Associates Degree can be completed in 2 years for $2000 and a Bachelor Degree can be completed in 4 years for $4000. UoPeople will never request these amounts upfront, but rather students will pay each Exam Processing Fee by the end of each exam period. These modest fees ensure that the university remains sustainable and can continue to provide quality education for everybody.

Apparently it is "poofreading-free" also!
