Why aren't transcript reviews automated?

Institutional accreditors give schools a lot of freedom in designing their curricula. TESU is not going to have the same requirements as every other school in the Middle States Association. When it comes to programmatic accreditation, there is more standardization.

I don't think I've come across a school that requires music appreciation. Schools usually have humanities or fine arts requirements. Some schools offer limited courses, so music appreciation might be the only thing they have. However, they are usually open to accepting other fine arts courses transferred from other schools. This is another reason why automation won't work.

Universities were not invented to be vocational training schools. They were designed to provide a well-rounded education. There's this misconception that some countries, like the UK, cut out all the gen ed stuff. This is not true. If you intend to go to college, then you spend additional time in high school completing your A levels.
