They are definitely took volunteers for the grad school program since so many people didn't want to do it who they originally picked, but it's not a really bad deal....my roommate volunteered for it and will start next week. Not sure if it's a one time thing or if they will be taking more people in the future.
It's 4 classes in two semesters (2 per 3 month long semester) so you get 16 credits towards a masters in IT for free over 6 months, and it is all done online from home....no instructors will be sent down here. So if you don't mind some time before API it's actually a pretty good deal....get paid for 6 months and not have to go into work, just do some stuff on your computer once in awhile.
