"Every person who earned an advanced degree in science or engineering from Olympus University last year received
numerous offers of excellent jobs. Typically, many graduates of Plateau College have gone on to pursue advanced
degrees at Olympus. Therefore, enrolling as an undergraduate at Plateau College is a wise choice for students who
wish to ensure success in their careers."
--Analysis
The argument that enrolling as an undergraduate in Plateau College is a wise choice for students who wish to ensure success in their careers is not convincing because it ignores certain assumptions.
The argument assumes that every student who spends his/her undergraduate studies in Plateau College will transfer to Olymus University for an advanced degree and as a result that student will have success in his/her career. What if some students do not transfer to the Olympus University after graudating from Plateau College? This will not result in ensuring success in their careers as stated by the argument.
Th arugment never addresses whether many graduates who have gone to pursue advance degrees at Olympus College have earned degree in science or engineering. The arugment states that only science and engineering graduate have received numerous offers of excellent jobs. What if many student of Plateau College have transferred to Olymus College to earn degrees other than engineering and science? If this is true, then students who enroll at Plateau College will not be gain success int heir careers because they will not pursue sience or engineering degrees when try transfer to Olympus Univeristy.
Therefore, the argument is not logically sound because it does not address the assumptions that were stated. Ultimately, the arugment might have been strengthened that the graudates at Plateau College will transfer to Olympus University, and the transfer student will enroll either in science or engineering program.
