As I understand it, UF got the greenlight from the Florida Legislature to create a totally online degree program. By doing so, a student could access UF courses without ever going to Gainesville (they sign up for an exam location closer to their location).

UF had as an option for IA students in 2012 to take 2 courses whch worked toward their major for a reduced rate of $600 (6 credits). The price included all fees.

There are some cynical reasons for this, but it accomplishes the objective of providing greater access to a Flagship University for less money. I have a son on campus, and even then he still has an online course.
