matchbook college
n.— «County funds have also paid for “internet campuses” that offer learning programs to “fit your learning style and budget” as well as online multiple choice exams that lead to a college degree. They are also referred to as “matchbook colleges” because these type courses have been traditionally advertised on the covers of matchbooks.» —“Taxpayers foot tuition bills for county employees” by Carol Thompson Valley News (Fulton, N.Y.)
