$60K seems like an awful lot for an on-line program. I think they are getting a lot of internal flack over the pricing. It seems to me that Berkeley should be jumping into on-line learning, as their state funding dries up. The best way to do this consistent with their mission is a mass market approach. By putting in Tiffany pricing, they're going to fail both their mission (training data science, educating the public, etc) and they won't bring in much money to fill any revenue holes.
Harvard's online masters degrees are closer to $20K all in.
