Congrats! Wondering if you are considering an online component? Model I am thinking of is something like Qwiklabs which provides hands on cloud training, on real world data and infra. It appears they are generating serious revenue at the scale of 10,000s trainees ;)

We're not considering an online only program, though we are making more and more of our resources available online for free.

For a full degree program - given that it takes 2-2.5 years of full time work to complete - it's not super feasible to expect people to get through it without a strong social learning environment.
