Dr. Adnan Rasool, director of the Center for Teaching and Learning and associate professor of political science, was recently quoted in QS Insights Magazine, a prestigious publication by Quacquarelli Symonds, one of the world’s leading providers of analytics and insight for the global higher education sector. The article can be found here. In the article examining whether university degrees can keep pace with evolving career paths, Rasool provided insights on the enduring importance of university education in developing fundamental skills and capabilities. “The thing about university education is that it builds social capital and gives you a toolkit,” he said. He emphasized that the value of a comprehensive university curriculum cannot be replaced by short-term courses, stating that “these skills will [not] be gained through some magical course, and not through a sustained and organized curriculum that nearly every single university runs.” Rasool’s contribution to the discussion highlights the continued relevance of traditional university education in preparing students for diverse career paths while building essential transferable skills.
