Thanks to Gov. Rick Perry’s challenge, the Texas State University System (one of three university systems in Texas ’cause it’s so big) is offering a $10,000 college degree if you can get it in three years and maintain a 3.0 average while doing so. And if you major in biology, chemistry or mathematics.
You have to go to certain campuses, such as Sul-Ross U. in Alpine in West Texas, but Alpine’s beautiful country (well, to a Texas eye, anyhow). Two other systems here also offer $10,000 degrees: UT and A&M. All the degrees are in science, which makes sense in itself. Sorry, no gender studies, etc. Boo-hoo.
