I'm not entirely convinced that this is going to work. I've spent some time looking into college educations, and I think the lede is buried on what the value actually is. For most roles that require a college degree, the actual education is of some value, but not the primary value. Frankly, for most roles, I think 4 years of on the job training would result in a far more competent worker than 4 years of college. There's a lot of stuff that you'll likely never use, and a ton of stuff that you might use, but probably not. I can't recall a single time I used calculus at work. Even if I did need calculus, an approximation to the nearest millionth is more precise than I would even be likely to be able to implement in the physical world. No, I think a significant portion of the value of a college education is predictability of the workforce. Most people who go to college are on a roughly similar path in life, and are looking for roughly the same thing from a job. They get along as coworkers because of that. It provides a base for people to get along with. Unconventional people (who I love) are harder to integrate. They might not give a shit if you give them a raise or a promotion, and likewise, they may not give a shit if you threaten to withhold them. They might not get along with coworkers as well, because they lack similar life goals and experiences. I think that is the real value (again, for most jobs. Academics and researchers are obviously quite different). I would guess that these will temporarily be considered valuable, and then will become equivalent to a degree from DeVry. It guarantees the education, but that isn't what people were hiring for to begin with.
