Wow! This is incredible! I wish I had this option when I went to school. Where did you all find the list of schools that are participating? Among the four you listed, I think MSU is the highest ranked. The 23-course requirement does seem suspicious. You usually need 40 courses, so it seems like it's a degree-completion program of sorts. I also wonder if the degree will be with an "affiliated" school that's independently accredited like UAGC. Or like Harvard Extension School where you must tell your prospective employer that the degree was obtained by an Extension School. Stuff like that could make it lose its luster.

I think they'll sign a contract with one of the universities in the list.

The universities are:

UIUC
UC Santa Cruz
University of Georgia
University of Arizona
University of Maryland

etc ...

but it could be that they turn into an extension program like you said.
