INSIDE HIGHER ED. JANUARY 15, 2013.

The courses will be offered to San Jose State and community college students. In the pilot stage, only 300 students will be enrolled, but the effort is seen as a way to potentially reach large numbers of students in a state where many public colleges and universities don’t have room for eligible students.
