What do you think of this /sci/?
https://www.minerva.kgi.edu/
It is an undergraduate program based mostly online with housing all over the world. I am almost done with my degree, but this looks like it would have been much more fun. Also it is cheaper.
Is this the future of high education or just a scammy meme? Do you think employers look down on programs like this?

It seems kind of cool but I think employers might be skeptical unless you can really show that you got something out of this program

That is what I was thinking as well. Any other opinions?

It just seems like an online university with fancier marketing, i.e. lots of buzzwords and empty phrases. I really can't see it working out, at least not for science/engineering. I mean, just take a look at their "Natural Sciences" course catalog, it sounds like complete garbage.

As far as online colleges? I wouldn't know
I think the best course of action is probably to just stick it out in CC for a few semesters then transfer to a 4 year

Opinions*
Sorry, I help run a winter coding fellowship and this seems much more bullshit with the marketing. But people seem to love it. The fellowship I now help run, its for undergrads, got me a high paying job. This site didnt have any results/jobs graduates got.
This is OP, was just a typo.
