Transcribed Image Text:Higher education is a place where we see some, but not complete, diversification in investment. That is, most colleges require
a set of diverse "core" classes, but students must choose and, to some extent, specialize in a specific major. Classify each of
the given as either a benefit or cost of diversification in college course choice.
benefit
Answer Bank
cost

Transcribed Image Text:You get a degree that involves using a specific piece of technology. Three years after you get your degree, new technology is invented that makes your
job unnecessary. You have to change careers, and your new career uses some skills that you learned in your core classes.
Some students may have had to learn to use the slide rule in classes that were unrelated to their major. For some of these students, the electronic
calculator would have made the slide rule obsolete even before they finished their degrees.
Your college requires you to take at least one philosophy class. Unfortunately, you loathe philosophy with every ounce of your being.
A leading business newspaper recently reported that nursing majors have an unemployment rate of around 2% while clinical
psychology majors have an unemployment rate of over 19%. Suppose school officials want to maximize student welfare and

Holding all else equal, which of the following changes should school officials make to maximize student welfare?
☐ Require clinical psychology majors to take more classes outside of their field than nursing majors.
Make nursing and clinical psychology majors take the same number of classes outside of their fields.
Require clinical psychology majors to take fewer classes outside of their field than nursing majors.
