Wonderful idea - I would go there if I was that age

It will be interesting to see how they do - I am guessing very very well.
From The College Fix:

New college promises real-world STEM training, traditional liberal arts education in 3 years at low cost
This fall, a higher education institution is set to open that pledges to offer a unique approach to college, one that combines both an emphasis on vocational education as well as Socratic-styled seminars.

Thales College is scheduled to be open year-round and aims to prepare students to enter the workforce and give them the experience they need while earning their degree, said Clifford Humphrey, its director of admissions.

And a bit more:

For one, the college will encourage students to dress as if they’re going to work, and not just throw on a pair of sweatpants for class, which will help them “start taking on the identity of adults,” according to a news release from the school.

Humphrey also emphasized the college’s focus on vocational education.

“The ways we are unique are that we emphasize career preparation through internships required during the second year,” he said in his interview. “The idea is to learn about a specific industry, network, work with employers and employees.”

Not only will the college prepare students for their future job, but it also plans to have a strong liberal arts program. The way Humphrey put it, all students will leave the college with both a liberal arts and a professional degree.

He said this means that all students will be well-versed in their knowledge of both Western Civilization and real-world smarts.

Wonderful idea - get them prepped for the real world. Let them stand on their own two feet instead of coercing them into safe spaces and indoctrinating them with liberal crap-think. But how much will this all cost?

Its website states tuition is $4,000 per term, which “enables students to graduate without crippling debt.” It adds that with its “dual-degree program,” every student will graduate with two bachelor’s degrees, a B.A. in liberal arts and sciences, and either a B.A. in entrepreneurial business or a B.S. in mechanical engineering.

Like I said, It will be interesting to see how they do - I am guessing very very well.
