Robert X. Cringely looks at Georgia Tech's $7000 MOOC-ish master's in computer science and concludes, "You can only serve 40 times as many students with eight extra heads by *not* serving them." Basically, students who complete the program and pay the $7000 for the degree are going to get something, but it's not going to compare to the in-person, full-cost graduate program with access to researchers and their work.
