I taught at college level for 16 years. Whenever I heard a degree was in “Professional studies” I know it was crap. I was assigned to teach a “Masters in Professional studies” Capstone (thesis) Course. I had mostly school employees taking their promised free degree. One young lady, a Black woman, who was actually a pretty good student earned a A which I found out later gave her a perfect GPA fore the degree program, came to me the next semester and said she had a problem. This was a well spoken very presentable Black woman with a perfect GPA in New York City mind you; said she could not find a job anywhere because neither she nor her interviewer could explain what the degree was in. The same school lured starry eyed kids into their Sports Management Degree program. What a joke! The degree didn’t get them an inch closer to a job except maybe at McDonald’s. When I pointed that out once too often I got pushed out.

"Liberal Arts" = "Pursuits Of The Idle Rich". Great program if you don't need to exploit it in order to make a living. On the other hand, people who need to be employed to live in the middle class would be better off pursuing an education that will provide a basis for later life.

Then those people could go back and study Art History when they retire.
