This is, as I'm sure you know, standard practice in Ph.D programs. If you never quite make it to the end of the dissertation, you at least get to take away a Masters degree as a consolation prize, at least at many institutions.
I don't see why it should be any different at the BA level, except for financial and status reasons.

Surprised that no one has accused you of enshrining mediocrity yet, Steve.

Sounds like practical ideas, Steve, but I'm afraid practicality is not in the forefront today.

One point I would add is that employers/applications that care ask for last year of schooling, so they can pick out the 3 year Cal Stater from the high schooler.

This won't work becuase even after 3 years of course work, the student usually never takes college math or the required science/lab sequence.

But, if they do finish college math and science + lab, this may be a good idea. An AA or AS can't be given just for finishing 60 credits. It has to have math, science, and English requirements.

Is this a joke? [I assume it is.]

Or did someone other than Steve Sailer delete a comment?

Or did Steve approve a comment and then decide to un-approve it?

Lucius Vorenus,
The icon is missing so I assume Steve removed it.

The semester before I graduated with a BSEE from UF, I was told by a Teachers Assistant that I could get my AA at UF if I applied for it. There was a check the box application form (this many hrs of humanities, that many hrs of social sciences). I received the 8 1/2" by 11" diploma in the mail a few weeks later.
