It has been just over a year since Georgia Tech grabbed national headlines by annoucing it would offer an online Master’s degree in computer science for less than $7,000.
Many prestigious universities are starting to offer graduate programs online. The difference between Georgia Tech and many of the others is price. In many cases, learning online does not come with a discount.
Online programs can also present challenges of a different kind to top schools. In our piece on Harvard’s new online pre-MBA courses, we explore how elite schools are struggling to expand without damaging their luxury brands.
If you’re a member of your local public radio station, we thank you — because your support helps those stations keep programs like Marketplace on the air. But for Marketplace to continue to grow, we need additional investment from those who care most about what we do: superfans like you.
Your donation — as little as $5 — helps us create more content that matters to you and your community, and to reach more people where they are – whether that’s radio, podcasts or online.
When you contribute directly to Marketplace, you become a partner in that mission: someone who understands that when we all get smarter, everybody wins.
