    In my university you had breadth requirements, but it was 1 humanities course, 1 social science, and 1 science, and you could pick any course within those areas to fulfill the requirement. So you had a lot of choice within the core curriculum. Man, if other unis aren’t doing that, that sucks.

      That’s roughly 10-14 classes. Most universities I’ve seen the first 2 years is mostly general education with a little bit of your major involved. Then there’s your “college” requirements inside of the university, another 8 credits so 3-4 classes typically. Then the rest if your major credits, but that’s at least 1/3 of your time on non-major work, and a lot of your degree program is going to be adjacent not totally relevant work, so, it’s more than that.

        yeah, that’s trash. I only had to take 2 out of 20 full credits out of my specialist.
