Rising University fees and scarce employment prospects for graduates have led some people to say that universities should not teach arts subjects like philosophy and history, and only practical degree courses that maximize chance of employment.

University fees have increased remarkably in recent years. Some people argue that subjects which have no

in employment like

philosophy

and

history

should not be taught and only practical diploma courses should be focused upon.

For instance

, a recent study conducted at Harvard University showed that students don’t take interest in non-practical subjects and just take them to complete their credit hours. For these reasons, people have become bothered about paying universities for subjects with no practical value.

teach them different aspects of life and the world they are living in which will be of great benefit in their future. A recent study conducted at Cambridge University proved that students who perform well in arts subject are more likely to graduate with a better GPA and land a job.

Hence

is equally important.

This

essay argued that even though Universities should focus more on practical

teach students a lot about their surroundings and help them become a more sophisticated person which will help them in their careers.
