An interesting opinion piece by Arthur C. Brooks, president of the American Enterprise Institute, and a graduate of Thomas Edison State College. He is a former tenured professor at Syracuse University.

I'm quite impressed with Thomas Edison State College. If you take 120 credits of accredited courses at other US four-year colleges, you can get your degree from there for just $4,000 and not have to take a single course with them.

Yes I read the article. This is what education is supposed to be about and in its greatest ideals.

The guy is certainly a very determined and courageous person

Really MBA is good if we have the cash and the time and we want specific values from it i.e. on-campus recruitment opportunities or one of the associate and training tracks at big firms

Education and knowledge especially business one can be learned and better be learned outside classroom
