    Thanks for the information!

    My thoughts:
    Wow! Now my computer can connect to a UK university! Too bad it seems to have no interest in higher education. I don't suppose Open University will yet deign to send me -- not my computer -- a proper, traditional correspondence (paper) course? No, of course not; I'm an American. Oh well. At least as socialists they have some justification for ignoring customer (student) desires. On can only wonder what the rational behind similar customer disdain is at US RA schools.

    I really quite admire this new effort. After having lost several tens of millions of dollars trying to foist unwanted corsework on a disinterested American populous (Open U's recent, embarrassingly bad attempts at becoming a DETC (!) American college), these bloddy-minded Brits seem prepared to spend several times as much on global failure. Go Britannia!

    I thought this was the University of Kentucky's website until I clicked on it.

    Are these Bachelors and Masters Programs offered or courses for professional development only?

    You know OU is making a come back in the US, right? They are now in cahoots with New College, New York. This spring the Milano graduate school will be offering a management-development course developed by OU and overseen by New School Online.

    UKeU is ofering three courses this spring. A postgraduate certificate in learning in the connected economy through Cambridge U., Masters in public policy and management through York U. and an MSc in IT from Sheffield Hallam.
