[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 92359, member: 231"] For reference I believe (haven't done the research to prove this so it basically comes from what Paul Hewitt said once) that some of the UNC degree programs are such that the student can earn a bachelor's degree in something like 25% [I]less [/I]credit hours than [I]any [/I]degree at Tech. This isn't a matter of just finagling what number of "hours" or "credits" you assign to a course. It means that a student there can take just as many courses and be in the classroom an equal number of actual hours each week and semester as a student at Tech but can get a degree in 1/4 less the amount of time. So then stretch those course requirements of such a degree program into up to 5 years of real world time and you are talking about a [I]huge [/I]difference in experience qua student-athlete. You have to account for both core curriculum requirements as well as degree requirements in trying to compare colleges. [/QUOTE]
