On average, skipping college and investing tuition costs nets a higher return

While a great idea for learning and purely academic purposes, a degree from such a co-op would mean nothing to potential employers. Actually, it would mean nothing to anyone. At least in the U.S., an institution must be accredited for the degree to mean anything at all.

That said, I would definitely join such a co-op as I feel the knowledge is more important than the paperwork anyways.

Why offer a degree when a BA in English isn't worth the paper it's printed on to employers? This is about knowledge, as you say. An affordable, liberal education, not a pipeline to Goldman Sachs.

For those seeking ROI, boot camps are already providing a compelling vocational alternative.
