University of Arizona will offer bachelor’s degrees online
When Starbucks recently went searching for a school to provide online education for baristas, it didn’t look twice at the University of Arizona.
The UA had nothing to offer the world’s largest coffee chain since none of its bachelor’s degrees is available online. Now that’s about to change.
After years of delay, the UA is launching a new chapter in its history by offering some of its undergraduate degrees over the Internet, beginning with the fall semester.
The move could help create thousands of new Wildcats worldwide, and is expected to add tens of millions of tuition dollars to the UA’s coffers, officials said.
It also offers UA dropouts a chance to resume their studies without returning to campus. Instead, they can interact with professors and classmates through video chats, email and document-sharing sites.
“Students everywhere now have access to a life-changing University of Arizona education,” said Vincent Del Casino, the UA’s vice provost for digital learning, who’s leading the new effort.

Sure, but why?
As I recall, for at least thirty years the U. of A. has been one of the schools at the very cutting edge of the PC revolution, a leader in the rush to turn American education into mere indoctrination. At one time it was considered to be even worse than Wellesley for its “liberal” and anti-intellectual malevolence.
Has it improved since then?
