Just a small question.
Three people all want the same job, to be a lawyer.
On one hand, you've got a guy who went to the absoloute top university in the land, spent four years studying law and graduated with flying colours.
Inbetween both hands you've got somebody who went to your average university, studied law for 4 years and graduated withy flying colours.
Then, on the other hand, you've got the guy who went to some scummy little online university, got his degree in three weeks and again, passed with flying colours.
You are the employer, an average, reasonable man who believs (like the majority of people) that the world is round, science is science and that lady at the bar is hot and you would totally get with her. You have never heard of Zelticism (am i doing it right?) and don't care what it is. Who would you employ?
You'd employ the guy who went to the championship university, or if he got a better offer elsewhere, the guy who went to the other university. Only if he also got a job somewhere else would you even consider the online degree guy.
Most people know this, which is why they fork out big bucks to go to big universities. So why would anyone choose to graduate from your university if they have other options. Also (keeping in mind I mean no offence) employers tend to reject people with online degrees regardless of whether they need employees and also, an online degree will not get you as far up the company ladder as a regular (and, dare I say it,) real degree will.
If no-one responds to this comment, I win. If anyone makes attack on my spelling or grammar without a valid argument as well (I'm looking at you Tom) I win.
Zetetics tend to be vastly more intelligent than your average RE noob, or the Harvard graduate who cannot tie his shoes.
So yes, once interviewed the employer will pick the most intelligent candidate every time.
As this would start off as a general studies college which teaches the fundamentals, I'd expect that our students would be smart enough to choose a major which they are already familiar with.
I.E., Maybe if they want a Photography major they can supply us a portfolio of their previous photography work or resume before they graduate.

There is nothing wrong with online degrees. There are Regionally Accredited distance learning colleges where you can get you degree in under three hours with a single 140 question multiple choice test. Students haven't had a problem with acceptance.
Quality is a subjective matter.
I'm sorry, but what marketable skills will you be teaching again? A degree may get someone an interview, but it is by no means a guarantee of success (especially in this economy). There are plenty of Liberal Arts grads working at Burger King.
Zetetics bring the ability to think beyond the norm and the ability to reason.
Our program will be a little more intuitive than the hiking and basket weaving courses which make up a typical college.
