Interesting, not many other schools of note on the list. I took 4 online classes in my time at St. John's and I had mixed experiences with them. Some professors don't pay attention to the class/aren't tech savvy and it makes it very difficult. Other professors would give powerpoints with voiceover lectures and stuff like that and those classes ended up being more valuable to me than a normal class. Some problems with online classes that I have seen is people paying other students to take their tests for them because there is no real security mechanism to prevent it and that there is no way to police cheating on tests so you can just google/look in the book for the answers. Having a good online program works in our favor though because I truly believe in less than 20 years it will be the primary way in which students receive their college education.
