Doubtful. If that were true, you would pay differently for a English degree than a Chemical Engineering degree. And I've never seen that.

That is surprising to me. In my country the cost of english degree is totally different than a chemical engineering degree.

Even without the commercial angle , the cost of teaching English is not remotely the same as chemical engineering, you need lot more labs , more depts with different expertise , more courses to cover etc. why is it costed the same ? Unless both are heavily subsidized and cost is a just token amount it doesn't make sense.

And that is from India?
Yes..
