But those programs wouldn't meet the accreditation requirements, which usually require minimum numbers of teaching hours.

Plus, established universities don't teach the trade, they teach you how to think about learning the trade. You actually learn the trade in co-ops and internships and by doing it.

A university wouldn't run a program like a code school. They're a better fit for a tech school or community college (which can be public, regionally accredited, and part of a larger state higher education system).

I don't mean create a CS like curriculum that would lead to an official degree, but build a continuous education program which teaches the trade.
