Momentum builds behind a way to lower the cost of college: A degree in three years

From The Hechinger Report: “A rare brand-new nonprofit university, NewU has a comparatively low $16,500-a-year price that’s locked in for a student’s entire education and majors with interchangeable requirements so students don’t fall behind if they switch. But the feature that appears to be really winning over applicants is that NewU will offer bachelor’s degrees in three years instead of the customary four.”
