Online Course Provider 2U (edX) Faces Doubts It Can Continue ($900 Million in debt)

[studyingfortests]

I personally think OPMs are a scourge to the online education field. While yes, it will massively screw things up for the OPM-run programs, it might also bring more awareness to the whole not-so-great industry.

I sort of figured this out when I was looking through all the accredited online social work programs. I noticed that three or four schools had websites that were nearly identical... looked further, and they were all websites unique to the school's online programs... did some more digging and discovered 2U was behind all of them.

Not coincidentally, the tuition at all the online programs run by 2U were about double the cost of the non-OPM programs.
