That is contrary to reality too.

The real reason is that the school doesn't have the requisite experience with UNIX or Oracle on UNIX.

For the most part, though, everything you learn will be of value. If you want the UNIX experience purchase a Sun Ultra 5 from eBay for about $500. Get the $39.95 demo pack from Oracle at store.oracle.com. And pick up the missing pieces yourself.
