Hmm, I didn’t realize they had as much value as they seem to at some colleges. Not repeating low level courses could be a small plus. But being able to graduate early is a definite plus if you plan to attend a graduate program. I thought this had been eliminated. Some of my academic friends have spoken about rules regarding spending 8 semesters. Anyone else heard of this?
The cost of education is so exorbitant that it could be a good option for many esp full paying families with multiple kids who want to pay for sons/ daughters to graduate without debt.
I’m going to dig further.
