Liberal arts education is important, but not as a major, unless, of course. one intends to teach liberal arts courses in college.

Advocacy courses - black studies, women’s studies, etc, should be dropped.

When I was in college, back in the stone age, I had to take courses in Western Civ, English, Literature, econ, political science, sociology, psych, in addition to those in my major. I’ve not been sorry to have gained those insights.

Back in that stone age was when colleges were about Education and the roots of civilization. Now most of them are, as are the antecedent public schools, about Revolution and Collectivism and Political Correctness.
