Learning how to think, …… naught

Josip Roksa of the University of Virginia and Richard Arum of New York University, authors of "Academically Adrift," followed the progress of more than 2,300 undergraduates at two dozen universities.

"They found that more than a third of seniors leave campus having shown no improvement in critical thinking, analytical reasoning or written communications over four years," McGurn said.

"Worse, the majors and programs often thought most practical - education, business and communications - prove to be the least productive."
