I think requiring students to take some electives outside their majors in order to get an undergraduate degree is a pretty good idea

It might have been a good idea in the days when college was less expensive. It's a burden now.

Get rid of the electives and you can probably shrink a lot of four year progams to 2 or 3, saving everyone lots of time and debt. If someone chooses to take an unrelated class, let them do so, but it shouldn't be required.

I am sure that if there were a market for that sort of degree, someone would be offering it. Maybe you should give it a go.
