Cool. I wish you guys would make that more prominent. A lot of other "online schools," both programming and non-programming, will charge for BS courses, and I'm usually very skeptical of online offerings unless I know the source (MIT OCW, Stanford, Open Yale, etc).

Anyways, I will definitely apply then. This looks sweet!

You're absolutely right. On top of that, many schools that are "free" are typically just trying to sell you something else. That's not the case with Mendicant University.

Right now our public facing website has very little useful information because we've grown by word of mouth and one-on-one interactions up until this point, and still manage to fill our courses up without a problem. However, in the long term we do need to do a better job of making it easier for folks to know what we're all about without having to be a friend of a friend of mine.
