For those who are interested, MIT, one of the top university in the country is putting their entire curriculum online.

On Tuesday, school officials revealed plans to make available the university's entire 1,800-course curriculum by year's end. Currently, some 1.5 million online independent learners log on the MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) site every month and more than 120 universities around the world have inaugurated their own sites for independent learners. MIT has more than 1,500 course curriculums available online to date.

Thats great. Wonder how long before you allowed to test out for complete programs. If we have homeschooling why not homecolleges.

Pretty intense. It would very hard to understand any of the math, application such without a professor though.
