Good news! It does, however, fly in the face of "our" efforts to achieve 20,000 students through at or near open admisssions. It would also be contrary to reducing the number of hours it takes to earn a college degree: generally 128 hours to go 124 hours on its way to 120 hours to graduate. And in the lowly CoB, students with higher gpas and test scores surely do not need many courses in their chosen major; knowledge about your field is such an outmoded concept. Breadth! Give me breadth! Let me grow until I know very little about almost nothing. That's what employers want. That's what will raise self-esteem. That's what will threaten top-tier schools. That will insure re-accreditation.
