Western University allows undergraduate students with a high grade average to take courses in our graduate school programs. Until now, these students received course credit toward their undergraduate degrees. Beginning next year, however, undergraduates taking graduate-level courses will not only receive credit toward their undergraduate degrees: if they go on to enroll as graduate students at Western, they can also apply these credits toward a graduate degree. This new policy will encourage our best undergraduates to take advantage of our graduate course offerings while they are undergraduates and also to make Western University their first choice for graduate school later on. Sincerely, Robert Steele
I overheard you complaining about that new policy yesterday. Jim.
That’s right. I think it will actually be bad for the undergrads. And it’s definitely gonna be bad for us graduate students.
Why should grad students care?
Look, grad school is about seminars small seminars with just a few students. Right? And there’s a reason for that. You need small classes to get good discussions and individual attention. Put too many people in, well It’s goodbye to all that. Plus you know these under grads are smart. They’ve got the grades, but they aren’t always prepared in terms of prior course work that can slow things down for us.
Okay. And you were saying it’s bad from their standpoint too.
Right. Look, you did your undergraduate work at another university. And so did I and that’s pretty typical. In general, you do your undergraduate studies at one university and you go somewhere else for graduate school. Grade schools are opportunity to widen your horizons, meet new people, different professors, may be live in a new place. If undergrad stay on, they won’t get that.
