All major Universities are developing courses to be taken completely

As a parent of 3 very young kids, I am counting on the development on online
learning systems to outpace my college fund savings system (CFSS). When you see
the estimates of what a 4-year program could cost 15 years from now ($200,000),
you just hope a better way comes along.
