SDBaby, I think “more theory based” would be something more academic in regards to the “study of______” as apposed to a practical which is taught to be more “useful” or pre professional.

Schools that are not “more theory based” are schools that are more practical and who aim at preparing students to enter the work force. While “more theory based” are schools that prepare students for possibly grad school/professional schools etc.
