From the article:
"... Bloom said online courses will be held to the same standard as courses held on-campus and that the Course Selection Committee will vet them extensively. Course admission will be conducted through an application process, he said, and non-Yale students who would like to apply will face the same admissions standards as enrolled undergraduates. ..."
