Professor Daphne Koller will be teaching an free online course that everyone that programs should take.

"Probabilistic Graphical Models"

http://www.pgm-class.org/

Stanford appears to be doing this more and more. If you scroll all the way to the bottom you can see other online courses. I love it!

"College Flunks Four Times; Eliminates Tuition"

"What if you didn’t have to pay college tuition? There were no tedious scholarship applications to fill out. And, you knew Sallie Mae wouldn’t be breathing down your neck when you graduate.

It’s not a pipe dream for students enrolled at Antioch College. They don’t have to pay a dime for tuition.

The unaccredited four-year private liberal arts college, about 30 minutes from Dayton, Ohio, is trying to resurrect itself.

Getting a degree from an unaccredited college is the same as printing your own degree on toilet paper.

College is way overrrated.

I graduated from UPenn in 2003 and I can tell you i still know of many ex-classmates who are barely making ends meet.
