Universities shouldn't be able to force students to take nonsense liberal arts courses that have no relation to their major. For example, a STEM or Business major shouldn't have to take a feminist literature course in order to graduate.
As a recent college graduate that had to deal with this, it was infuriating to have to spend money on these nonsense liberal arts courses. The only reason universities force students to take these courses is to indoctrinate them, and because they realize they can milk Pell Grants and Federal loans. These pointless courses can be replaced with courses that actually relate to the student's major, and you could probably eliminate an entire years worth of courses just by getting rid of them (thus turning a 4-year degree into a 3-year degree).
I also fail to understand why universities are able to offer useless majors to students like "Women's studies", sociology, anthropology, philosophy, etc. Universities profit immensely by taking advantage of clueless students, and then these same students wonder why they can't land a job after graduating.
most so-called "4 year degrees" can easily be done in 2 to 2.5 years if you eliminate all the "well rounded" shit. no humanities, language requirement, electives, lab science for something that ISNT Biology Chemistry or Physics, etc. stick to just what's needed to do a job.
Remove remedial courses. No one should enter college without college credit from high school... if they are serious.
I disagree with you. One of the reasons being that if you come from a background with poorer socio-economic status (or just moved states and the schools were different, math builds on prior courses...to get into STEM, if you have that disadvantage, a remedial course/s help to get up to speed with the others)
But then again, I’d choose trades over “colleges”, nowadays.
This was me with moving during highschool. I couldn't have done that even if I wanted to. Despite all that I'm still successful so far in getting my engineering degree.
Not even old vets like me that were knuckleheads that barely graduated High School, joined the service because let's be honest I was gonna be a ditch digger for the rest of my life or a Soldier, and am now about to graduate with an Associate's Degree in Computer Networking and working towards a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics?
I know you don't mean that, just pokin' fun!
Nah, I didn't do that and I'm a senior civil engineering student that's been successful so far. Plus I got no debt because I worked my ass off to get scholarships. It's not always so cut and dry.
I would've loved this to be implemented before I had to get through those for my engineering degree. Totally useless for civil engineering and totally useless compared to civil engineering.
idk man, before I took my mandatory gender studies class, I used to think there were only 2 genders. I still think that, but I used to think that too.
I want to sign up for one of those classes so I can say there is only one gender. Women are property. Praise Allah. Then watch their heads explode.
