As college students face mounting college debt, leading education officials yesterday proposed a new kind of higher education institution that would offer a “low-cost, no frills” bachelor’s degree.
No sports teams. No extracurriculars. No super gymnasium or plum dorm room.
No extras at all.
The schools instead would offer an accelerated, year-round program much like a community college, but they would offer four-year degrees as opposed to two-year associate degrees.
