Listen "Time to Scrap Electives?"
Episode Synopsis
In our upcoming podcast episode, Dr. Joe Beckett and I will discuss the compelling Substack post, "Time to Scrap Electives?" We explore four key reasons to reconsider elective requirements in higher education: the need for a career-centric focus that aligns education with job market demands; the abundance of online resources that allow for flexible, independent learning; the tendency of electives to cater more to faculty interests than student needs; and the financial burden of unnecessary courses. Join us for a critical conversation on how reforming elective requirements could better prepare students for the workforce and alleviate student debt.
