    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Princeton is the only Ivy League school left without online degree programs. Without even counting extension and professional schools, all of the other Ivy League schools have online degrees that are indistinguishable from their on-campus programs. Just to name a few.

    Havard - Ed.M and MPH

    Brown - Cybersecurity

    University of Pennsylvania - computer and information technology

    Dartmouth - MPH

    Columbia - many online degree programs in social work, education, legal studies, engineering, etc.

    Cornell - engineering

    Yale - executive MPH and physician assistant studies

    I believe you are correct. Even branching out from the Ivy schools, a lot of top universities are adopting online degree programs. Johns Hopkins, Duke, NYU, WashU St. Louis, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, etc.

    It is nice to see top tier universities moving towards remote learning degree options. I think they are beginning to understand the importance for current professionals to re-skill without interrupting their current career and family life.

    Yes, Columbia has a lot of online programs, but some schools in Columbia only offer short-term courses or certificate programs instead of degrees.

    It is really encouraging to see the online programmes being offered from the Ivies. The earliest, I think could be the Columbia Video Network which has been around for quite some time. I do wish to also add that Stanford also has a range of master's programmes in engineering within their Honors Programme - whereby employers need to subscribe to however. Still, very encouraging!

    Let's welcome another private, elite college, UChicago, to the online degree club:
    https://professional.uchicago.edu/find-your-fit/masters/master-science-analytics/online

    I believe that's new because the last time I checked (a few months ago) they didn't have this program.
    I think that rounds out all the private, upper-echelon, elite schools. So the only remaining holdouts are Princeton and CalTech. Updating Sanantone's list:
    (I am including professional and extension schools, as long as the degree is granted by the actual university.)

    Ivy
    Harvard: Ed.M and MPH
    Brown: Cybersecurity
    UPenn: computer and information technology
    Dartmouth: MPH
    Columbia: many online degree programs in social work, education, legal studies, engineering, etc.
    Cornell: Engineering
    Yale: executive MPH and physician assistant studies
    Princeton: None?

    Ivy+ (top private elite institutions outside Ivy)
    MIT: Master's in SCM. One semester on-campus only (could be done in the summer)
    Stanford: Many through SCPD (mostly Engineering)
    Duke: Many through their online website
    Johns Hopkins: Many through Engineering for Professionals school
    University of Chicago: Master of Science in Analytics
    Northwestern: Many through SPS
    WashU: Through "University College", their professional/continuing studies school
    Rice: MSCS, Data Science
    Vanderbilt: Many; engineering, education, etc.
    CalTech: None?

    Cornell also has an online Masters in HR Management.

    I missed the ILR School one. It's funny, because before I published my post, I went to the ILR School website to double-check to see if they still offer the Master's (my wife applied to that program, but she went to NYU instead.) I couldn't find it, so I didn't add it to Sanantone's original list. Now that you mentioned "HR", I went back and found it. That's a big one.
