At a glance
240 is not a personality and not a verdict on a people. It is ECTS often tied to a four-year load, the kind of total a second major can push toward, attached to the Bologna signatories (Bologna, 1999). How to read the time cost of a second major asks you to keep that attachment visible. Strip the unit away and the number starts answering questions it was never asked.
