Why can’t we eliminate programs that do not produce jobs in national or state demand?
It is shortsighted to think that a liberal arts education doesn’t do that. The programs and courses are designed to allow students to gain a broad educational base that comes from being versed in the principles and methods of various arts and sciences, rather than only concentrating in one specific area. These courses are designed to help students develop competencies in writing, critical reading, mathematical reasoning and computation. University programs are not designed to be vocational in nature. As an example, psychology is sometimes cited as a degree that is not needed. However, psychology has recently been ranked in the Top 10 highest demand fields, and a degree in this field provides access to a variety of careers and graduate programs including business, medicine, law, rehabilitation counseling and special education.
