Re:Classes offered online (Score 4, Informative)

Well, I am a computer science student at RIT (Rochester Institute of Technology) and there is a robust computer science department along with software engineering and the likes. I can obviously attest to the challenge and effort needed to obtain my degree, and I just don't see how you could possibly do that all online. Like someone mentioned a lab science class, obviously it would not be the same online. Theres a lot more to a good degree than reading the right books. At RIT we go on a full year of co-op. Thats paid work experience with placement among lots of companies. Just yesterday reps from IBM were standing in the lobby of the Comp Sci building looking for co-op students. I woulld have looked into it but I'm not ready to go just yet. Anyway, I just don't see the quality matching a traditional university degree.
