Snevets has officially announced its new elite 8-year undergraduate degree program! Effective immediately, excelling students will be selected to extend their undergraduate degrees by four years. This new program requires these lucky, chosen students to attend Snevets for an eight-year minimum. Upon completion of their 8-year studies at Snevets, students will be awarded their bachelor’s degrees.
After completing their typical freshman through senior year at Snevets, students will be required to start year 5 as “5/8” students, which are also known as “Freshman II” students. They will go on to have their 6/8 Sophomore II year, 7/8 Junior II year, and finally 8/8 Senior II year.
Students must live on campus for the additional 4 years so that they feel fully immersed with the Snevets community. The new Towers were designed specifically to hold all students on this 8-year plan. Every student on this plan will be located in the North Tower, as it holds more students than the South Tower. Further, to make room for this new program, administration has decided that all computer science majors will be transferred to NJIT.
Now, many students may ask why they would have to extend their undergraduate degrees by an additional four full years. These four exciting years will be used to teach each major here at Snevets valuable lessons that they can use in their everyday lives at Snevets and also in their future careers.
Every STEM student will now be required to take a minimum of eight outdoor Physical Education classes from their freshman II to senior II (5/8 to 8/8) years since STEM majors never go outside. With these students having very challenging course loads that cause them to spend all day in their dorms through their first four years, the next four years will re-teach them to go outside and get fresh air. It is important for these students to unlearn what is comfortable to them (the indoors) and finally walk outside again.
All non-STEM students (business, music, art, etc.) must now take at least eight sciences through their 5/8 to 8/8 years, and additional engineering design classes. These classes are required so non-STEM students are no longer eligible to complain about how difficult their majors are. These science courses will teach them to have empathy for their many science and technology majoring peers. This valuable experience will present lessons in understanding and compassion for others, while also giving them a first-hand experience of being a technology/science/engineering major (as they are studying at an institute of technology focused on innovation).
All students in this program will also have classes in finances, taxes, stocks, cooking, cleaning, and parenting, as even though most of these classes are offered and taught in high school, many students forget how to do all of these useful tasks by the end of their college years. These classes will prove beneficial to all 8-year undergraduate students, so they do not crash upon graduation.
All eight years of this program will help students to enter society as functional, compassionate adults after graduating with their 8-year long Bachelor’s degree. Any refusal to comply with this new program is a direct violation of the Stevens Honor Code, and students could be subject to expulsion.
