The Tildes Skills School was founded in 3750 ([[JY]]) as the Dukes Skills Centre at Universitus, named after Halas Dukes, the founder of the school. The school was founded primarily to educate [[Universitus#Universians|Universians]] in the arts, as the University was not highly reputed in the aesthetics. The school had originally not been intended as a college in which students could select a major, but rather a secondary institute for those also attending Universitus for academic reasons.

Tildes, the college made several large acquisitions in both stadiums, land, and faculty, and eventually offered Aesthetics as a major course concentration in 3900.

The Tildes Skills School at Universitus (also known as TSS; formerly known as the Dukes Skills Centre or DSC) is a Quaternary Education college of Universitus and the only college within the university which teaches students wishing to learn as their primary subject the arts, music, or athletic sports. The college is considered one of the most prestigious schools within Universitus, primarily because of its extremely selective admissions process. Both this admissions process and a strong faculty and student body have allowed TSS to help produce some of the most talented and successful artisans, musicians, and athletes within Jey.

History

The Tildes Skills School was founded in 3750 (JY) as the Dukes Skills Centre at Universitus, named after Halas Dukes, the founder of the school. The school was founded primarily to educate Universians in the arts, as the University was not highly reputed in the aesthetics. The school had originally not been intended as a college in which students could select a major, but rather a secondary institute for those also attending Universitus for academic reasons. In 3891 (JY), after substantial donations from Jon R. Tildes, the college made several large acquisitions in both stadiums, land, and faculty, and eventually offered Aesthetics as a major course concentration in 3900. By 4000, the college offered three major concentrations in the Arts, Music, and Athletics, and thousands of specific majors in these areas. The donations from Tildes eventually led his name replacing Dukes' as part of the name of the college in 4055. In the next 50 Jevian Years, Tildes Skills School quickly grew to become the most prominent school in Jey for all areas of its concentration, and admission into the school is commonly a desire of many aspiring artisans, musicians, and athletes in Jey. Today, Universitus TSS students are widely regarded as some of the most talented performers in their respective fields, and are often asked to represent all of the Allied Empire of Jey in international events, such as the World Cup.

Organization

The organization of TSS can be considered with regard to all of Universitus as well as its education policies.

Universian Organization

Within Universitus University, Tildes Skills School is technically a specific college in the same sense as, for example, the Universitus Changi College of Jevian Literature. However, many distinct differences exist between Tildes Skills School and other colleges of Universitus. The Tildes Skills School maintains a large amount of autonomy within the Universitus, controlling the rights to set limits for students which are not enforced at the university level, especially with regard to degree completion time. TSS is also permitted its own endowment fund and its own specific giving campaigns, a right which is not retained by any other Universitus school. Moreover, TSS is the only college of Universitus which reserves the right to absolutely ban non-TSS students from use of specific facilities owned by the school--other colleges may only reserve facilities for periods of time for specific use. A more symbolic difference concerning the Tildes Skills School is that it is the only school within Universitus which does not maintain the official Universitus Shield as its own emblem. Instead, the Tildes Skills School Shield was implemented as the official seal of the school shortly after its founding.

Educational Organization

The Tildes Skills School is organized into 3 separate concentrations of Arts, Music, and Athletics, all of which offer an incredibly vast array of undergraduate and posgraduate courses and majors. Each concentration is composed of 1,200 students, allowing for 300 graduates and new students per year in each of the three concentrations. Thus, the Tildes Skills School is composed of exactly 3,600 undergraduate students each academic year. Unlike Universitus, TSS students do follow the typical Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior year graduation schedule.

Each concentration is composed of numerous specific colleges within the school, all obviously very varied in their number of enrolled students. For example, the TSS Erolim College of Football maintains 59 students, while the TSS Harmon College of the Harpsichord has only one. Students are permitted to officially found a new college of TSS if they are admitted for a specific skill which has not yet taught a student of the same skill. Admitted students are typically provided with a minimum of three wholly personal teachers to help hone their specific skills.

At the Postgraduate level, TSS provides students with the opportunities needed to pursue a very lucritive career in their specific skill. Courses are not offered at the postgraduate level of Tildes Skills School, as it is considered needless as the level of education at the undergraduate level for TSS students is to the limit of present knowledge of a particular skill. Instead, after graduation from TSS, students enter into the TSS Postgraduate Career Service, where they are provided easily attainable opportunities to enter into their skill's professional level. As such, most TSS students do not ever cease being "Postgraduates" of the school.
