WGU is an interesting test case, not least because of the Clayton Christensen connection (see christenseninstitute.org/publicati... for more about this). One wonders how a degree from expensive high-reputation places, say, Waterloo, CMU, or Stanford would compare. The scale of cost/reward would be challenging to evaluate in any case.

I don't really know much about the Clayton Christensen connection, but yeah I also wonder if my feelings would change if I were to have gone to a high profile university like Stanford. I didn't have the money or time to invest into going into a more prestigious university, unfortunately.
