Is College Still Worth It? (original) (raw)

The analysis of degree attainment reveals significant gaps in what students learn during their college experience, indicating that many do not acquire the necessary skills, particularly at selective institutions. A study found that a large percentage of students learned very little over their college years, prompting a call for reevaluation of college quality based on actual learning rather than prestige. The findings suggest that to improve college education, students must adopt more rigorous study habits and engage more deeply with faculty, highlighting the necessity of increasing access to quality liberal arts education.
