The Realist;3788570 said:You don't have to take the classes at Stanford to complete the degree. I know plenty of people who have been 1-3 classes away and completed them at campus B, but still got the degree from campus A.
And Stanford is far, far more flexible than you make it sound. They are at the forefront of online and distance learning programs. A lot of part-time/online Master's Degrees offered in the hard sciences and other areas. They even have a 4 year HS program online for gifted students.
He has an entire semester of senior year courses. That isn't the sort of thing you just complete elsewhere and get a university to approve. In fact, there are few universities that would allow that amount of course transfer for Senior-level courses and thesis work. 1-3 courses is very different than a full year of classes.
Being at the forefront of distance education really is irrelevant here. Is his program one that offers that option? Likely not.
