If you could change anything about the college experience...

Make it required for professors to have worked in the industry/field they teach

Best teacher I ever had fit that description. The ones who went straight through

BluePete

Agreed. I see that as I'm winding down my undergrad in Accounting at BYU.

Part of the reason BYU's accounting undergrad is so effective. Professors with a

Some of the best accounting professors at BYU had limited experience.

And those who can't teach, teach Gym

What's a gym?

Which is why I'm seriously considering getting into teaching.

This will never change until accrediting organzations change their standards

I agree on internships. I also think that they need to require more

and actually have counselors that know what they are talking about

Drop general ed so I can take more worthwhile courses.

push this down to HS. HS courses haven't changed much in 50 years.

Make business majors take a sociology class

Blue Oyster Cult

4/7/14 8:40am

So that business majors can realize it was a good idea to not do sociology?

IGlowInTheDark

4/7/14 8:41am

I'm all for anyone being what they want if they fully understand

Blue Oyster Cult

Personal finance should be part of the general core.

4/7/14 8:41am

Part of the general core in high school too. It's a valuable course that would

That needs to be high school and lower.

Get professors that know how to teach.

tebowned

No grad students teaching courses.

canadiancougar624

4/7/14 8:46am

So how are they supposed to learn how to teach?

concolor couguar

4/7/14 8:49am

Then not advanced courses..

canadiancougar624

4/7/14 10:05am

I for the most part agree

concolor couguar

Most Eng. schools push internships in the final two years heavily

NarfUte

4/7/14 9:11am

Many of them do now...but not when I was in school (a looong time ago)

BluePete

Internships for engineers can be misleading

ANY exposure to industrial settings would have been significant to me.

Eliminate pointless/worthless majors.

sethfan

Disagree with this...better to take the alternative approach and really sit kids

Iman23

What would be wrong with eliminating degrees that offer no legitimate job

standardize and audit ROIs for each major field of study
