I am thinking that adding a Ph.D to your title for 100 bucks is awesome.

I am thinking that adding a Ph.D to your title for 100 bucks is awesome. I'm not looking for the title, I'm looking for a university education when I don't live near a university. The fact that this education only costs $7k, and is totally online, you can take it from anywhere in the world is awesome. Technology today, taking an online course is no different than sitting in a classroom. As long as you have access to your instructor or teaching assistant for questions, I find that I learn best in the comfort of my own home, at my own pace. As long as you have the desire to learn and the discipline to stay on task, there isn't anything you cannot learn today.

But can you use it?? hence title. Yes. Today you can pay a small fee to get a certificate and college credit for taking an online course. This is the first time I've heard of a 100% online Masters Degree in CIS.

 Re: Earn a Masters in CIS, online for only $7k
My university currently charges around six thousand per semester for graduate classes, so an entire program for what I might pay for one term, and I know that some schools charge much more, sounds like a very good deal to me. Can I specialize in TWX Proxy scripting?
