End of the University as we know it?
#18
I think you have to understand this change by tier. I see schools today as perhaps 4 tiers. The elite, the very good (still difficult to get into and you should be proud of going to), the average (probably 80% of all schools, and the horrible degree mills.

The first tier will never change. Top schools will continue to open up their programs and allow online entrants, but they'll never be the same as their real graduates. There's a reason people fight to get into those schools.

The fourth tier is a joke and perhaps they shouldn't be called schools.

The third tier is where the big 3 live. They have proper accreditation, reasonable reputation, and satisfy what most students need from a degree. These schools have already changed a lot.

I think the second tier is their next target. Some reasonably good schools that want to stand out from the pack could start offering much more flexible programs to the public in the near future.
