This is because many colleges don’t actually run online programs themselves. They outsource much of the work to an obscure species of for-profit company that has figured out how to gouge students in new and creative ways. These companies are called online program managers, or OPMs, an acronym that could come right out of “Office Space.” They have goofy, forgettable names like 2U, HotChalk and iDesign. As the founder of 2U puts it, “The more invisible we are, the better.”

I think my niece got her Masters Degree from Arizona online. Would have been 2-3 years ago.
But not the University of Arizona Global Campus University, which is the old Ashford University. So she's good. But she may have to explain that a lot now.
