First, it wants to have a classroom within twenty minutes of its students, choosing to locate near the off-ramps of major highways and urban arteries. Education at your doorstep.

Consequently, course content tends to be more integrated with life experience.

All right, I can hear the objections clearly. This university has reduced higher learning to the accumulation of techniques. The height of instrumentalist thinking, it leaves no room for the wisdom that arises from speculative and detached exploration of questions that run well past life's immediate demands. Moreover, we object that a drive-through style of education misses the essential dimension of research. Any university worth its subsidies must continue to expand the horizons of knowledge.
