Does it teach good analytical and communication skills? Absolutely

But if academics in liberal arts programs and many many others don’t wake up every day thankful that there’s a system which pays them to teach things which do not lead directly to any kind of marketable skill, they’re doing it wrong.

I had accrued work experience during college, which I used to get into my field. I think I may have answered two interview questions that had anything to do with my course of study. Having a good GPA helped but people didn’t care about my degree. They wanted to know what I could do.

Ty’son Williams and others play a highly competitive sport at an elite level. Ty’son earned his degree in a relatively short space of time. That involves skills and attributes at least as valuable as those which could be offered by a great many undergrad and grad programs.

He isn’t applying to medical school or an accounting program for which he has no background. Is it really a masters of communications that’s causing the consternation? If so, and perhaps regardless, the academic purists in this thread are mostly nauseating.
