But why have gate keeping courses when they can just let only the people capable of doing the work into the program in the first place?
Because standards have been so lowered and are so scatter shot now, especially with the flood of foreign educated students, that you can't trust they really received the education they claim to.
I had a guy with a Masters of Engineering from one of our middle tier universities apply to a job and the thesis work was basically what a final project at one of our three year technical colleges, straight out of high school, would be 20 years ago. Another had a "master of data science", whatever the fuck that is, from a 10 month insta-diploma program from a top university here. His background before that was business and restaurant management. But he got in and they graduated him with some coding project.
Total shit show.
