Yale will offer Web-based master of medical science degree

"Yale University is creating a Web-based master of medical science degree for aspiring physician assistants, the latest sign that online learning is gaining acceptance from the nation's most prestigious institutions of higher education.

A few other Ivy schools, including Columbia University and Cornell University, offer online versions of select programs. And Yale has a nonclinical, doctoral nursing program that grants degrees online."
