Explain how this isn’t non-elite.

Lists of majors are not what makes a college elite or non-elite; there are elite and non-elite schools in every field.

(OTOH, that list makes it pretty clear what makes it something a community college won’t substitute for, since those are mostly bachelor’s programs, plus a professional masters; with the few associate’s programs in health sciences being the only thing that most community colleges might be able to provide, even before considering qualitative differences.)

The school is not remotely elite, that is a fact, and the list of majors it offers is a tell. You think I’m saying the majors list _causes_ it to be elite or not. Or you don’t really think that.
No, I don’t know what you are saying because you are being deliberately indirect amd avoiding making an argument rather than vague handwaving and innuendo.
An odd collection. One can major in Creative Writing, but not English or Comparative Literature?
