Future Third World Education

Up until recently, Japan has held a very strict ruling on university degrees, minus the option of online course work. Today, Cyber University has been established by Sakuji Yoshimura, a popular Egyptologist in Japan and a subsidiary of Softbank Corporation. Since April, this exclusive online university offers full degrees without stepping in the doorway of any university or professor office.

Opening the doors in April, each faculty which has the ability to take up 600 students each semester has had 516 students' cash in on this new educational adventure. Unlike American online universities though, the students are able to get a four-year degree which differs from the traditional two-year associate's degree. In fact, the degrees that are offered are some of the highest paying careers in the world such as business and engineering.

Uncertain at first, it is hard to believe that students are actually sitting in front of a computer screen long enough to pay attention to the course work at hand. Cyber University has caught up with the lazy college student though and has structured the online courses to prevent sleeping while doing the work at hand. Each college course is taught alongside the curriculum that is taught in the traditional classroom. Therefore, each student must watch a list of lectures that have been placed via the internet. Every student has the option of watching the course lecture in what is referred to as real-time or any available moment of the week.
