Inside Higher Ed: “California’s Deal With Kaplan“

…Still, this is not a cheap endeavor. A standard three-credit online course at Kaplan costs $1,113, and a discounted three-credit course there costs California students $645. By comparison, a three-credit course at a California community college costs a mere $78. Despite the cost, Kaplan officials believe they are helping the state’s community colleges at a difficult time…

If the California system is so overloaded, then why aren’t more students there taking advantage of community colleges such as Central Texas College (TX), Darton College (GA), or Barton County Community College (KS)?  Online tuition for OUT OF STATE students at these schools comes out to roughly 1/2 as much as the discounted Kaplan option. 

Something is rotten in Cali.  You read it here first.

More embarrassing revelations due to a degree mill.

…On his resumé, Talley listed a master’s degree in insurance studies from Hamilton University in Evanston, Wyo., but “60 Minutes” exposed the school in 2004 as a diploma mill with no faculty or campus two years after Talley earned the degree. The school has since been closed….

Operators of these mills could care less.
