All credit hours earned at any college or University shall be transferable and recognized by all universities and colleges. Core curriculums are always different from school to school, therefore students lose credits they have already earned.
Students have earned and payed for these courses. These hours are seldom transferable, many students lose a great deal of time and money spent. Make it a law that all college credits know matter where they are earned are credited to that degree.
Consider supporting the following:
As long as the credits are equivalent. Unfortunately some College Administrators are afraid of laws suits thus do a poor job preventing things like cheating. This unfairly inflates grades for cheaters and renders the teacher useless in preventing it. The students who work hard and actually earn a B will get less opportunity than the cheater who didn’t earn their A. This is also true of a course that has the same curriculum but the teacher doesn’t follow all of it making the course and testing easy versus another College that demands higher performance in the same course.
So the Colleges would have to be on an even playing level. And there would need to be a way to combat the lack of enforcement of doing the work honestly.
I do think that there are too many requirements to get a degree. There should be less credits required. And less degrees, more on the job training where possible, available.
“know” matter where?
This is impractical given what different colleges and universities consider “core” curriculum but I mainly agree, but it would need to be accredited colleges and universities.
