Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time?

prostoalex writes "Associated Press runs a nationwide story on Northface University. The school, founded by a pair of venture capitalists and former technology chief found a niche with its highly intensive curriculum and corporate software development specialization. For example, a BSCS degree can be completed in a little over 2 years, and it comes with IBM's WebSphere and Microsoft's MCSD certification. Northface is also promoting its corporate partnerships, which allow current students to feel more secure about future employment. Grady Booch from IBM is quoted to be 'jazzed up' about the program, although there are many who oppose such approaches to college education."

    Dude if you're going to make stuff up you may as well not even post. At least the others went off of they're personal experience, you seem to not even know what your talking about. You have no idea what it is to go to Northface except what others have posted. And making fun of Grady Booch is something that is just an insult that doesn't need to go that far.
