Arizona graduates lack general knowledge

UA seniors will graduate next month, but according to a recent study, most of them will leave college without the well-rounded education they expected.

I can honestly say I would not be here without Dr. Todd. I returned to academia at age 35, a single mother of four who had not been in a college classroom for a decade and a half.
