Two thumbs up. Welcome to the 21st century. A four year liberal arts cocoon for $250-300K is not the direction most higher education is heading. Nice to see thinking outside of the box, increasing opportunities and adding value for students.
ND owed us after SK. This program reminds of the joint engineering program with WPI that Michael Vicens participated in.

What Provost Freije has set in motion/accomplished in her 2 years in this position as well her time as Academic Dean is under appreciated on this board.

Late to the party on this but this is very encouraging news. Have believed for a while that HC needs to diversify its offerings. Good step forward.

This program reminds of the joint engineering program with WPI that Michael Vicens participated in. It's a move in the right direction, but nowhere near reminiscent of the old 3-2 with WPI or the current 3-2 with Dartmouth or Columbia. I know hiring mangers who's first cut at a stack of resumes from kids fresh out of school is to toss all the ones with on-line degrees into the wastebasket

The people I know that do that, think any on-line degree is not as good as any degree with physical classrooms and its free give and take with professors and other students. However, from a practical standpoint, no one is going to point out that their MS from Notre Dame is on-line. Not quite the red flag that DeVry is so that might sneak past the first cut

Fixed it for you as I assume you are quoting the late (oops, he's still alive), great Bob Fouracre. Sorry, I am late to this as it happened on my hiatus and was about to post about the HC/ND connection as it is just now on the HC site.

Was posted on the HC site when initially announced (and this thread was started) at the end of March.
HC has an annoying tendency to repost headlines to the website with a new date and linking to a previously published story . Don't know if that's a uniquely HC phenomenon, but if you follow the link on the website with a May 16 headline date, check the date at the top of the story for the date of initial publication.
My guess is they view the website as a marketing tool to prospective students and so positive stories, such as this, that may attract a High School student and their parents should be front and center, just seems odd to change the date on the headline. Better IMO to just leave the dates off the featured story headlines and make decisions about what stories belong in the current newsfeed.
