General Assembly, Galvanize, Flatiron School, Dev Bootcamp, and more were written up in media outlets like Forbes , The New York Times , and TechCrunch, and attracted venture capital and heady valuations. At the Christensen Institute, we wondered if they might disrupt universities’ master’s degree programs.

In the United States, short-term interest rates have been near zero for most of the last 15 years.
