Lowering the cost of college

[SpursforSix]

You just want to argue to argue don't you? Let UT accept the hundred hours of online non lab, non field trip etc. classroom work and the kid can take the 20 hours that require that at UT. He graduates with $20,000 of debt and not $200,000 of debt.

Wtf dude. All anyone did on here (including me) was simply point out problems with your idea. Mainly as you applied it offering a 4 year degree across any field of study

The idea definitely has potential. I'm on board.

schools need to get rid of the mandatory basic courses unless they coincide with your degree. english for non english majors is stupid just like math is for non math majors and electives are dumb altogether. indoctrination stations are a waste of money!

would certainly be a massive upgrade to our current system. i do think we can eventually catch up to other countries like germany and sweden and have it apply to campuses too (at least for public universities)

It could work but more likely we'd have a "Teach to the test" system we have in HS, and students will continue being unable to have basic critical thinking.
