How'd you get by without the core crap? I don't really know of any legit universities that skip the 2 years of BS general ed. Clearly gen ed doesn't work anyway, because I know way too many college educated people who can't spell and usually don't even make sense when they write or speak *cough*bush*cough*.

Probably a school like ITT Tech. Specialty schools generally don't press all the other crap because they don't have to. I think there is quite a few universities that do no require such things, ITT and probably just about any automotive specialty school (like diesel mechanic etc)

General education? At university? In the UK, you go and study the subject you're doing, not general stuff like writing and english. You can sometimes take modules in other subjects, but only as a small proportion of the course.

We have really wacky standards here. I believe it has something to do with accreditation and money. It's not really a bad idea either, some people (who will remain nameless) really need those other classes because they spout BS constantly.
