Harvard has begun allowing what it terms "hybrid" courses to satisfy the 8 credits for an AA and 16 credits it requires for a BA.
These hybrid courses meet online like their regular cyber offerings then feature (typically) a 3 day "residency" in Cambridge. Each course generally qualifies for 4 credits. Several business courses are already being offered this way and one interesting offering this semester was "the future of warfare".
The 3 week January semesters are being bolstered by 3 week offerings in the summer. And, of course, you can still satisfy the residency by taking classes in person during the regular semester.
My daughter took a 1 week residence satisfying course (4 credits) this past January. In it she has ample time to network with fellow students, heard a Supreme Court justice speak, and got to meet several well known media and political figures.
It's getting easier to get a degree from the extension school than ever! Applying for internships, my daughter is learning that the Harvard brand, even as it applied to extension students, is respected and highly thought of. As I write this she is in an interview for a summer position at a well respected media company...they called her about 90 minutes afte receiving her application...that's never once happened to me!

Masters level courses run $2000 a piece. Remember that most classes are 4 credit, so at the bachelors level were only talking $250/credit. That's comparable to many State schools.

Wow, that's amazing!!! I want to take classes there
So their graduate degrees require 4 courses on campus. Is this where you're referring to using hybrid classes?

That is pretty amazing. I'd seriously be considering it if I wasn't one Capstone away from finishing my BS. WOW!
Don't miss out on something great just because it might also be difficult.
