Conant urges abolishing the bachelor’s degree for flexibility
Dartmouth Alumni College hears Dr. James B. Conant argue that higher education would gain by abolishing the four year bachelor’s degree and adopting an associate of arts as the universal degree after two years. He says two years beyond high school would prepare for many trades and allow life long learning, while graduate studies would set admissions standards. The plan preserves graduate and professional study but eliminates the starting baccalaureate as a requirement.
