[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michigan Technological University just completely revamped their gen ed core curriculum. They say students weren't connecting classes in ethics, literature, etc to core skills they needed in life and professionally. It looks like fewer credits, and is now more skills based. This will likely make these classes much more obviously relevant to students.

Quite literally.  They get avg 200 inches of snow per year[/quote]

As someone who tends to roll my eyes when people on this forum talk about cold and winter as concerns for northern universities, I was going to point out that they do have serious, long winters up there. And Houghton's a great little town, and there are tons of outdoor things to do, but there are no cities anywhere.[/quote]
