(Online, wiki, virtual World University & School, with its first, matriculating, Bachelor's degree class in 2014, and with its free Bachelor's, Ph.D., Law and M.D. degrees, accrediting on MIT Open Course Ware, will be able to STUDY HOW students learn, quite rigorously, - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Research - because this will be mediated by the web, and WUaS is offering these degrees for free. Reed College's undergraduate degrees, with its required 1st year Humanities course, its junior qualifying exams, and its senior thesis, plus a required freshman, WUaS biology class with computer programming requirements, and further widespread computer programming requirements, the equivalent of 32 MIT/great (and rigorous) courses over approximately 4 years, and with a significant science/mathematics/engineering/technology focus - is the main model for WUaS's undergraduate degrees presently. WUaS hopes to collaborate richly with MIT OCW - http://ocw.mit.edu/ - in the process).
WUaS plans to offer something like 36 majors, based on these MIT OCW 36
WUaS will eventually accredit in at least 50-100 languages/countries, and as many as possible, to offer free, online, MIT OCW-based degrees.
Accreditation to offer Bachelor degrees is a 3 stage process, with WASC, with WUaS's first, matriculating, Bachelor's degree class in 2014 (graduating in 2018). WUaS plans to graduate 1000 students, every year, with a Bachelor's degree, in the online, free college.
