Online Ivy League degree programs that require less than a week on campus

While not Ivy League, NYU offers Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Arts degrees in Information Systems and Technology (STEM), Leadership and Management, and Social Sciences. Students could transfer up to 80 credits; however, $1,833.00 per credit for an undergraduate level is wild.

 

Yale School of Medicine is launching a low-residency Master of Health Science (MHS) in Medical Artificial Intelligence. That residency is just a little longer than specified in this thread’s title: one week on campus per semester.

 

Columbia University is launching an MS in Artificial Intelligence available fully online.

 

90 big ones.

 

While Columbia University in New York City is a well-respected institution, but $81,000 tuition ($2,700.00/credit x 30) plus $3,950 fees ($395/course x 10) is wild in this economy. The University of Texas at Austin, Georgia Tech, and the University of Pennsylvania's Master's in AI would do the job.

 

Interesting program and it’s good to see it in the engineering school instead of the SPS.

 

If I have to pay that price, I wouldn't want it online. Sure, online offers many conveniences for professionals, but it lacks networking and on-campus resources.

 

Another new online master’s from Brown University, this via their Watson School of International and Public Affairs: Master of Public Policy.

Courses are asynchronous with “optional synchronous components,” emphasis theirs, which is welcome. Tuition pending approval is 6 250 per course x 8 courses = 50 000. “Limited merit-based scholarships [cover] up to 50% of tuition costs.”

 

When asked, the typical response to "Name the eight Ivy League schools" is "Uh, Harvard, Yale, and those other six," with the occasional service academy tossed in for good measure.

 

Anyone in higher education knows that subjects should be school specific. If I am an extremely high achieving student interested in engineering, I’ll take Georgia Tech over Harvard. If I am interested in chemistry or physics, I’ll take Cal Tech over Harvard. The list goes on and on.

Unfortunately, 99% of the population just assumes the Ivy League have the best programs for every subject matter…which will all know is not the case.

 

I took epidemiology at Harvard Extension with a faculty member from the Harvard School of Public Health.

She was impressively candid in her assessment that Harvard had the number 3 school of public health in Greater Boston, after Boston University and Tufts.
