" The survey showed a strong relationship between analytic coursework and literacy. Students in two-year and four-year schools scored higher when they took classes that challenged them to apply theories to practical problems or weigh competing arguments."
I wonder if the study breaks down grads from the following areas:
1. Engineering and Sciences.
2. Liberal Arts.
3. Education.
4. Communication.
5. Nursing.
6. Social Work
7. Business.
And further breaks down Big State U (University of Wisconson) vs. Little U (Easter Mich U).
My prediction: (1) and (2) above beat the crap out of (2 - 6), but Big U and Little U have little difference (provided that grads have the same major). In other words, U-Mich students who major in social work have just as little intellectual development as Eastern Mich social work majors, but Eastern Mich chemistry majors beat the pants off U-Mish journalism majors.

Well if Business is at the bottom, that would explain it. America is driven by business and technology. People who majored in liberal arts normally work at Starbucks or Barnes and Noble.
