Why Certifications Should Replace the B A

Nothing in this proposal forces students to treat college as vocational training or as a way station to graduate school. Employers looking for productive employees and graduate schools looking for well prepared students need in formation, and the piece of paper called a b a does not provide it. When the b a is no longer the universal goal of post secondary education, it will be easier for everyone to recognize that all students who seek more education after high school are engaged in the same activity. Ridding ourselves of the bA is a good way to help everyone recognize that common bond.
