Tech Investors Fund an Alternative to College

Original: The Tech Elite Is Funding an Alternative to College

Venture investors Ben Horowitz and Marc Andreessen are backing a new academy positioned as an alternative to traditional college, according to the Wall Street Journal. The initiative reflects growing skepticism among Silicon Valley figures about the value and cost of a four-year degree, and debate over whether private, tech-funded programs can replace mainstream higher education.

Why now: Prominent tech billionaires challenging the traditional college model reignites debate over higher education's value and cost.
