Comment University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign (Score 4, Interesting) 598
To be honest, at the beginning I was very skeptical about the quality of education I would recieve from an online institution. But I didn't really have much choice, so I started shopping around the web for online graduate programs. I was surprised to find that the University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign offers what they call Illinois Internet Computer Science. There are three things I found incredibly interesting about this program:
I only took 2 courses so far, and I am very impressed with how they handle and treat the program. Everyone invloved is very professional. The teachers actually go out of their way to accomodate both on and off campus students. My experience has been extremely pleasant, and I'm very satisfied with what they offer.
- The degree you get is euqivalent to the on-campus degree (i.e. there's no mention on your degree that you took it online).
- The teacher actually gives a lecture to compus students. The lectured is recorded and a video of the lecture along with presentations and PDFs documents are posted online for off-campus students no later than one hour after the class.
- UIUC is ranked 4th in the entire country (according to usnews.com).
