Comment Liberal Arts versus Vocational training (Score 5, Insightful) 225

I'm disappointed to see an institution with as good a reputation as GMU creating what is ostensibly a vocational training program. Programs such as this prepare students for one and only one role in a specialized industry, instead of preparing them with a more well rounded education. Mores the pity too. I guess GMU wants to compete head to head with schools that advertise on G4.

You live in New York. That, along with LA and maybe San Francisco are among the most liberal, educated places in the nation. Try meeting some people in Alabama, or Iowa. See what they think about "intellectual" subjects.
