> they won’t be able to charge what they normally charge for online classes I have two contradictory points for this. One, I applied for online graduate programs several years ago and found that the majority of programs had the same cost for online and offline tuition. The idea that online programs should be cheaper is not really supported in general. You could argue that as a whole college education is overpriced, but clearly the market will bear it. Two, the program I did select is Georgia Tech's online masters of computer science (OMSCS) which is: 1) significantly cheaper that on-campus tuition 2) really excellent in terms of quality and 3) a very enormous program with thousands of students. In this case it's unfortunate they aren't drawing from their experience in multiple successful OMS programs to create a high quality online experience for a large number of students.
