Texas State University System developing $10K degree


This caught my eye. A $10,000 university degree.


If such a degree teaches students adequately to get a job, this would be a major success story and a game changer.

I've seen several university luminaries such as Michael Crow at ASU address the cost of education in creative ways. However, the bottom line is that a university degree hasn't been making sense lately. If Texas State University and other institutions follow suit, the traditional university model in the US will be under increasing pressure to cut costs for all but the richest of students.
