This bs is why, what used to be a 4 year degree in college is now a 5 to 7 year degree.

In STEM, there's another reason. The number of humanities courses that must be taken has been upped, making it difficult to fit the required STEM courses into what used to be a standard 4 year period. It can be done, but it requires a heavier course load because its augmented by crap courses.

“So, now those 4 year courses magically become 5-7 year courses due to the crap courses.”
