Nationally, a 2011 Pew study found that 57 percent of prospective students believed a college degree no longer carries a value worth the cost.
announcing a bachelor degree in information technology costing students just under $10, 000 in tuition and fees.
Moreover, they point out, a number of the new offerings charge students $10, 000 but do not actually reduce their schoolscost of instruction and materials.
More important, the $10, 000 degree programs that reduced the price charged to the student but not the cost incurred by the school did not employ the means Perry specified online learning and competency-based exams.
and allows students to receive credit for as many competencies and courses as they can master each term.
According to THECB website, students arriving ith no prior college credits should be able to complete the degree program in three years at a total cost of $13, 000 to $15, 000.
Students who enter having already satisfied their general education requirements can complete the degree in two years,
students and their parents have taken on historic student-loan debt. Total student-loan debt has risen to $1. 2 trillion,
for the first time ever exceeding total national credit-card debt. In the past, the debate over the college tuition and debt crisis has produced calls to action on two fronts
First, federal taxpayers have been asked to pay more through subsidizing student loans so that students can borrow more to pay inflated tuitions.
Second, state taxpayers have been asked to pay more in order to increase state subsidies for education. But today, with the $10, 000 degree, universities themselves are beginning to lower the tuition
and fees they charge students, parents, and taxpayers. Finally, the ground is beginning to shift.

In one example, noted Maris, an instructor looked young, and students would comment on that in their feedback.
It took the videos along with interaction with the instructor in the discussion forum e-mails and online help sessions"for students to be convinced that he really is the expert."
"In using actors, the obvious challenge was that they might not be"believable "if they mispronounce the jargon of the subject.
Or a new topic video based on SME or student suggestions can be inserted wherever it's needed.
