The program expects to offer students largely the same faculty and courses as they would take if they were on campus--meaning that a Duke student could take an art history class at the University of Rochester or visa versa. 2U will provide the digital infrastructure for supporting class work, discussions and so on. "Students will still have live, in-person classes but they can physically be anywhere," says Jeremy Johnson, president of the 2U undergraduate program. Johnson also noted that 2U approach is different from Coursera and other MOOC programs--even as Coursera has started arranging to have academic credit awarded for its programs. The SemesterOnline program "is more about creating an online experience that's equally good as the best classroom experiences in the year. So our approach and students are very different and the schools that would accept credit are very different. It's a different value proposition," he says.
