‘ The programs projected to fail, if the federal test were to take effect today instead of this summer, include Ball State University’s bachelor’s degree in dance, Indiana University at Bloomington’s bachelor’s in music, Ivy Tech Community College’s associate degree in library and archives assisting, IU Northwest and Purdue University Northwest’s bachelor’s degrees in English language and literature—general, Purdue Northwest’s bachelor’s in computer software and media applications, the University of Southern Indiana’s master’s degree in mental and social health services and allied professions, and Ivy Tech’s associate in teacher education and professional development–specific levels and methods’

I could have guessed they were largely liberal arts degrees.

If you want to be “liberal arts snarky” about things, discontinue computer degrees of any form as pure wastes of time. Either AI will render them obsolete, or coursework and schooling are poor approximations for hacking and getting starts through things like Y Combinator.

I grew up in ancient times but I was hacking away before I headed off to uni, and I didn’t take a cs course once there. But I’ve made a career out of development. It’s not the books, it’s the practice.
