You're missing the point. Learning to to code in Python is fairly easy, you could teach yourself. Can you teach yourself to think critically or be a better communicator? Unlikely.
On the contrary, my personal experience is that Universities are very good to transmit specific knowledge (i.e. Python), but fail miserably to develop introspective and critical thinking in their pupils.
By necessity, you gain the later by long years of self study (and probably lots and lots of of detours and false starts).
