YESSSSSSSSS!!! I agree with that.gkearney wrote: ↑October 22nd, 2017, 5:54 am Here is one simple method which could be implemented right now. At BYU a student is required to take more than half of their classes in subjects out side of their major. So if you want to study engineering you end up in classes in English and art as well. This was meant to produce a well-rounded individual and as a nice idea in theory and practice however it adds cost and debt to the students life. So the solution is simple, drop the so called general education requirements. This would mean it would take half the time to graduate, cutting the cost and thus the debt in half as well. It would have the added benefit of doubling the number of students who could attend.
All this is to say that you must deal with the economics of this issue first and foremost.
If you want four years, take it (some government requirements require one).
(They sent me about three "please leave NOW" letters, but I'm sorry, those requirements YOU set for my major are in the way...)
If not, go to LDS Business College. Whoops, they don't have enough "majors."
How about something in between? A two year degree that hits all the major requirements.
Why not have major corporations agree to accept these degrees and hire straight in, and even have input as to what should be taught, according to the companies' needs.
How about a class where you visit a whole bunch of professions to get an idea about what you might be interested, so you don't graduate with a useless degree?
