> I'm surprised you aren't seeing legitimate universities responding to the market and producing a 2-3 year BSc program, stripped of almost all general-studies courses.

Funnily enough this is how it works in the UK. All BSc/BA degree are 3 years long without any GenEd requirements.

Actually, that is generally only true in England and Wales. Scottish universities generally have 4-year programs with Gen Ed requirements. It's the system the US system is based on.
