I think there should be options, and thus an equal amount of courses offered in both the academic and practical realm. Depending on if a student is interested in research or academia they can choose the relevant coursework. One student might choose 7/3 ratio and another might be 50/50, depending on their preference and career goals. Additionally, even practical courses are not equivalent to real world experience and thus an internship or co-op is crucial to gain experience and truly practical knowledge.
