low-cost competingMassive Open Online Courses or MOOCs offered by organizations like Coursera or EdX,with a goal of teaching large numbers of students through automated learning modulesand testing. These phenomena lead to a critical question: What is the value-add of an on-campus experience that cannot be achieved through these emerging online, low-costprograms?    In our view, there are at least three responses to this question. First, the active, problem-based learning in teams, coupled with opportunities for community service learningavailable through an on-campus higher educational experience can significantly trumpany online MOOC-type experience. Many higher educational institutions, including ourown, recognize this and actively foster
