Duke to Offer Online Courses for Credit
The venture is expected to start in fall 2013
Duke University students will be able to take online courses for credit from Duke and nine other selective American institutions under a new agreement.
The 10 colleges and universities will each contribute a small number of online courses to the venture, called "Semester Online." Their students will be able to enroll and earn credit from the courses, regardless of which school developed them.
Along with Duke, the member institutions are: Brandeis University, Emory University, Northwestern University, UNC-Chapel Hill, University of Notre Dame, University of Rochester, Vanderbilt University, Wake Forest University and Washington University in St. Louis.
The venture is expected to start in fall 2013 and is supported by 2U, an online education company that will provide coordination and the technical infrastructure.
