I’m confused Shoxlax. Is this a solution for WSU athletes, but your above post is pointed toward all WSU students (and federal funds)? It sounded like that was where you were headed, especially since you are saying this on a basketball thread. -
It should be a course of study option for all students but seems to me something similar at every university would benefit athletes who are getting degrees in areas that produce very few jobs.Originally posted by Shockm View PostComment

I agree with you.Originally posted by shoxlax View Post
I do think that Gretchen Torline wants the best for athletes, but she may not have thought of this pathway for the kids, or perhaps our athletes haven’t had interest in plumbing, welding, etc. The students/athletes, after all make the final decision on the education pathway they wish to take.Comment

Don't the athletes have to be enrolled in a 4 yr degree program? WSU Tech is considered a certificate program or 2 yr type of setup I believe.Comment

That was my thought. Would they be eligible per NCAA rules if they were taking those courses.Originally posted by rrshock View PostComment

That is correct you can get either a Certificate in certain skill or a 2-year Associate Degree where you take some general studies in addition to the technical certification you seek. The technical courses are identical and the students work together on those whether they are working for the Certificate or for the Associates Degree.Originally posted by rrshock View Post
My grandson had 2 graduations this spring. One from Southeast High School and one from WSU Tech with a Certificate in Welding.
Whether or not some of their offerings could be incorporated into a 4-year degree program I don't know. But most of the WSU Tech students are not interested in 4-years of college at least at this point. If they have their Associates degree they would have 2 more years to finish up if they decided they want to go that route.Last edited by 1972Shocker; August 12, 2022, 05:06 PM.Comment

Your last paragraph sums up the issue. Concurrent enrollment isn’t as easily accomplished as it sounds.Originally posted by 1972Shocker View PostComment

It is all dependent on how bad the school wants to restructure its programs.Originally posted by Stickboy46 View Post
If you want a model look at Pitt State and how one can transition into a four year program easily.Comment

I love how SN morphs a thread from local radio sports talk to WSU athletes should be welders.
It’s awesome!Comment

It looks like thermite welding, but one of those guys is obviously a plumber.Originally posted by shock View Post
There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.Comment
