A group of 10 highly selective colleges has formed a consortium to offer online courses that students enrolled at any of the campuses may take for credit. The group will offer semester-long online courses using software from 2U, an education-technology company formerly called 2tor. Students already attending the institutions can earn credit from any college in the group, while students who are not enrolled at those colleges can apply to take the courses. The software from 2U will give universities a platform for small online undergraduate courses capped at 20 students each.The consortium of universities comprises:
- Brandeis University
- Duke University
- Emory University
- Northwestern University
- University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
- University of Notre Dame
- University of Rochester
- Vanderbilt University
- Wake Forest University
- Washington University in St. Louis
