Abstract

The phenomenon of viewing college as a scam has become increasingly discussed among young people as a form of criticism toward the higher education system. This perception arises from the gap between the expectations offered by education and the realities faced by graduates, such as difficulties in obtaining suitable employment, the high cost of education, and uncertainty regarding the value of a degree in improving individual well-being. In addition, persistent inequalities in access to education and the declining relevance of education to labor market demands have further reinforced this viewpoint. This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of college as a scam through the perspective of Émile Durkheim’s theory of functionalism. The study employs a literature review method by examining various sources related to higher education, the functions of education, and social change. The findings indicate that this perception is not only associated with issues of educational access and relevance but also reflects a crisis in the goals of education. Education is often viewed as being more oriented toward academic achievement and workforce preparation than toward character development and social integration. From a functionalist perspective, this condition can be understood as a weakening of education’s role in fostering social solidarity and preparing individuals to participate effectively in society.
