Re:I Can’t Afford a Bachelor’s Degree, So I’m Making My Own by ofir_geller on Monday June 23, 2014 @10:49PM (#7935969)
do you have an estimate of the cost for a full first degree? even one that's very broad will help me understand your idea better.

I sure do. As things stand right now, the cost of a bachelor's degree from start to finish will be capped at around $20,000 (hopefully less) if a student were to pay to take complete courses with a professor in a live-web conference, 1-1 tutoring, or in-person setting.

Professors charging less than the maximum amount allowed, plus the opportunity to take competency exams administered by a professor (which have a much lower cap on how much professors can charge) could reduce that cost pretty significantly.

How much would you say the cap for a professor to teach would be. Also why would they want to do this instead of teach a real course at their university
