    I received the 2002-2003 application from Duke University (Form A), considering a class or two as a non-degree student--basically for personal enrichment.

    WOW! The tuition for a 3-hour class is $2460. Thats right, $820 per credit hour. This immediately changed the game plan.

    What I did find interesting is that the application, which is 19 pages in length, lists both US and non-US universities from which Duke accepts credits/degrees.

    The South African universities listed are:

    Potchefstroom
    Rhodes
    Cape Town
    Durban-Westville
    Natal
    Port Elizabeth
    Pretoria
    Unisa
    Stellenbosch
    Witwatersand

    I'm not sure why Rand Afrikaans or Zululand are not listed.

    And I was about ready to put a semester at Duke on my credit card too!
     
  3. Also missing are Free State and Western Cape (both of which are more highly regarded than Port Elizabeth, for example).

    To complete the list, the other public South African universities (at least for the next few weeks) are Medical University of Southern Africa (Medunsa), North-West, Fort Hare, North, Transkei, Venda, Vista.

    "...at least for the next few weeks..."

    It ain't poetry, its just fleurs du (as)mal.
