I think there is something like that with computer science. At least that's what I saw... That at some Universities (the higher quality ones) you couldn't take computer science courses (you wouldn't be allowed into them) unless you were a declared computer science major on application (and they selected you to study at the university as a declared computer science major).
I think it's because...
You don't need to go to university to learn to make a webpage. And the higher quality universities don't want to clutter up people's university education with things they could do in their own time whenever they have the time to do it...
Biology can be a lot like that, too...
Universities do run High School level courses in various things... I'm not sure how they decide what (if any) of that to run and who is allowed in etc etc...
I don't know.
It seems unfair to take people's money for that kind of a thing.
On the other hand... The places whose job it is to train people in those sorts of things... Often won't.
I guess the idea typically is to keep people held back.
