that I have had several friends go through. In the beginning it did not require the typical BYU qualifications to get into because it was a new program and needed students. They were not doing anything beyond first year calculus and algebra based Physics for one semester but the people who finished the program were ready for a very successful career in their field. Isn't that what school is for?

I think it could be a real success and academically legitimate.

And yes - I did not take a general ed class that I thought was hard.
