A Swedish college has been ordered to refund tuition fees to an American business student for giving her a poor economics education. The Vastmanland court ruled Tuesday the Malardalen University's [www.mdh.se] two-year program "Analytical Finance" that Connie Askenback attended from 2011 to 2013 "had no practical value."

The court noted Sweden's Higher Education Authority in 2013 had expressed criticism of the program, and ordered the college to pay her back her tuition fees of 170,182 kronor ($20,544) plus interest.

I am sure Soylentils would know about many such useless courses offered by other colleges / universities.
