I do wonder what the immigration repercussion of this is, too. I've often considered taking a Masters simply because it would make it easier for me to stay in the US.

From the Inside Higher Ed article I linked elsewhere:

> Galil and Bras both said they did not think the Udacity partnership would cannibalize its existing master’s degree program. They said the residential college experience would still appeal to students who are on a Ph.D. track, who want a full range of career services and who want visas to live in the United States while they study.

Nice find. This adds more weight to the idea that the "online" designation was carefully thought out to avoid immigration quagmires.
