What should all undergraduates have to learn? I think statistics is pretty obvious. Retarded studies are used too often not to know it.

Also, any other WPI fags here?

In the United States: the Constitution of the United States and the Declaration of Independence. These should be covered to some extent in high school already but an undergraduate should have a highly conversant literary, historical and legal understanding of both documents upon completion of tertiary education.

Statistics is a fair suggestion.

Elementary calculus. I was about to qualify this (and possibly jettison the requirement) by observing that there are different educational tracks, including non-STEM fields, but I've decided against. You want a college degree, you have to test out of some dumb-simple elementary babby calc where you're not doing much more than symbol pushing. Euros get that done before college so we have no excuse. This would also have a happy effect on restricting college degrees back to smarter people, contracting the cohort.

Obviously elementary calculus is a matter of course for anyone in STEM (and so hardly needs to be identified as "special" in our case); my thinking here was to demand same basic performance from everyone, per the OP's prompt.

Kek. Not really. Learn2 Flynn Effect.

For the first few years, it'd be tough. Then, in the next 10, it'll become easier. Then in 20, it'll become the norm. In other words, those people you call now? Their kids will be able to calculate the derivative of sin(x^2) and they'll still be the ones making YouTube videos of themselves hanging off of buildings with no harness.

You are the reason why a little bit of philosophy must be forced upon you while you and those like you are still young, halfway-impressionable, and given a bit of free time by the state.

Having more knowledgeable people in general wouldn't be a bad thing.

I am still right, and you are still wrong. You erred by stopping at the second-highest tier, name-calling, when you could have passed simply to the highest one: smug anime girls. I win. (You don't get a do-over).
