It was recently announced that Argyros School of Business will no longer be enrolling new students for their hugely popular and successful BA in Making Lots of Money. Though the major was just introduced, it is to be completely dissolved by the end of May with no recourse for those on track to graduate.
Many claim that it was dissolved because it required students to work at least 7 semesters as distributors for Herbalife, a trustworthy company. Such an argument ignores the fact that a typical semester as a Making Lots of Money major includes a wide breadth of courses such as How to Be Your Own Boss: Making 60k Per Month and How to Definitely Sell Herbalife Herbal Supplements.
“This major was a stain on our university, [but] students...made…so…much...[money]” claims Chief Academic Officer Norma Bouchard. With regards to her first point, we would like to note that she didn’t have a single Herbalife supplement or nutrition drink anywhere in her office, so her ability to hear other sides of the story should be taken with a grain of salt.
