I have no dog in this fight, but I just thought I'd point out... no they aren't doing the same thing. I would probably agree with the statement that nursing school straddles the line of trade school/college, but leans more towards an academic trade school.

Like he said, Fairfield is moving towards nursing/business. Teaching at a hs I've seen that with kids and college apps.

Schools investing in STEM has a lot more to do with research, prestige, and publications--not nursing, not careers for their students. Yale is investing in STEM. Do they even have a nursing program? You get the idea.

Fairfield is pumping out nurses more than anyone else in the state. They've decided to focus on career education. Science/Math/technology is not "career education"--even though it obviously leads to some pretty solid career prospects compared to liberal arts. When you go to Fairfield in the nursing program, it's pretty clear that you are going to be a nurse. That isn't true for a kid who goes for bio, chem, math, whatever.
