Typical "progressive" blather. Obvious lack of academic rigor, substituting kind words in "narratives" for standards and achievements.

So they deplore

"sequences of disconnected classes and endless prerequisites"

Prerequisites are hardly "endless" but are necessary standards if you are to have more advanced classes AT ALL. No prerequisites means everything stays at a mushy introductory level, because no class can assume a fundamental background among students who have already had one or more courses in the subject. Good heavens, I could not bear to be in only classes for which there were no prerequisites!! That suggests an appalling and rudimentary level of education even in the junior and senior years.

I spent a little time on their website. They don’t appear to teach but attempt to make the students “feel good” about themselves. Oh and over 70% take on student loans to “feel good.” I’m sure their careers as PT Starbucks barista will bay those off.

No prerequisites? Their math classes must not extend much beyond the multiplication tables
