What won't they learn

A new website called What Will They Learn shows what universities (some of the major ones anyway) require that students take in composition, literature, foreign language, U.S. history or government, math, science, and economics. You may be able to check your alma mater. But you will probably be looking at what students will not learn. Shockingly, the school's I've checked so far leave out history and economics. See Vanderbilt, which omits everything except science, and Rice University, which omits everything! No wonder we are in such trouble.

This site proposes a new strategy for college shopping: where are requirements the lowest? Back to Animal House. See also here.
