College Degree, No Class Time Required - WSJ.com WSJavid Lando plans to start working toward a diploma from the University of Wisconsin this fall, but he doesn't intend to set foot on campus or even take a single online course offered by the school's well-regarded faculty.
But haven't they been doing something like that for many years? I just finished reading Arnold Schwarzenegger's biography, Total Recall, which is a great read, BTW. Anyway, for several years Arnold took classes from several different schools in California while working on other things (bodybuilding, his real estate business, etc). He had many credits but no degree. He had a chance encounter with someone from the University of Wisconsin who asked him to send in his transcripts for an evaluation. He states in his book that they only required him to complete two additional courses to graduate. Ironically, one of those courses was a one-credit course in physical fitness. He took those two classes through U of Wisconsin-Superior and graduated.
I don't know, but the article makes it seem like it is something new. You would think someone on this board would have known of the University of Wisconsin required no residency.
You'd think, but no one knows everything and maybe it's slipped through the cracks. Anyone want to check it out? By the way, I believe the Governator's program was through the University of Wisconsin–Superior, not the better regarded University of Wisconsin–Madison. (Not that that means Superior is bad.)
