If this is successful, perhaps they'd consider expanding this to a Bachelor's (MicroBachelors). It's a step in the right direction, at least. I've gone through a lot of the MIT OCW videos and notes, and by and large, the quality is very high. Promising.
I think that would be very useful for a lot of older tech types, like myself, who never bothered with a Bachelor's degree in the first place. I'm in the East Bay and there are a number of master-level programs that seem very interesting, but the idea of doing a 4-year undergrad degree at this point makes me want to stab my eyes out - I'm pushing 40, have kids, and doing fine in my career.
