• Madurai Kamaraj University, a fairly well respected university in India has established a relationship with a distance education study center in Maryland. This will allow Americans to study for the Indian university's degrees -- at a fraction of the cost of what it would take to get an equivalent degree in the US. It's outsourcing in reverse. And we can expect to see more of it -- maybe even independent study centers that prepare Americans to sit for the exams at several universities from around the world. You pick the degree you want and they'll help you prep for the tests or thesis. ~ link
