I attended Purdue. Since I graduated, it launched its "Purdue Global" online education. Rankings don't suggest it's happened yet, but I'm worried it will cheapen the brand and devalue my degree.


I remember sitting with the faculty in charge of offering online courses when I visited as an alum back in 2014. They seemed to look at it as a cash cow in their presentation. They were eager to be at the forefront of online CS degrees at the time.
