I was equally as excited about University of Wisconsin's offering. They're taking a step in the right direction, but I believe competency-based degrees fall short, in the mind of the general public, when compared to more traditional degrees. In addition, I feel this program applies to such a narrow target in the post-secondary education market. Diversity of options is great. However, I'll be more interested when a university solves the problem from first principles and offers a 4-year degree in the $10K-$20K range, including the costs of books and board.
