Northface University - Computer Science in Half the Time?

Posted by michael on Thursday August 5, 2004 @05:49AM from the revenge-of-the-nerds dept.

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."

Oh, I figured they'll be running Opterons or G5's, so everything will just go twice as fast with 64 bits.
