I'm not sure that I see the benefit of a decentralized degree. Udacity & Coursera are already pursuing a path to aggregate content from many schools, and the OMS CS course catalog will not have traditional limits on availability -- once courses are in the catalog they can continue offering them every semester. As a fellow OMS student, the limiting factor has always been graders/TAs up to this point.
I concur about the need for an OBS CS (or ME, EE, CPE,...) at $7k. Cal State Monterey has a fully online BS program...that costs more than the resident program. I don't understand how it costs $300-500 per credit hour for the undergrad programs, except to avoid devaluing the resident offerings.
