About twenty years ago...my brother transferred from a community college over to the state university. He figured he’d have to put up around twenty classes over two years, and that they’d accept everything from the state community college. In the end, it was twenty-three classes that they required, and they pulled this one odd-ball business class out....for an electrical engineering class. There was basically nothing that he learned from this business class, and he challenged the counselor to explain the necessity...with the only response as “mandated”.
I suspect that the colleges are geared toward making cash in the end...no matter what kind of degree you want.

The difference between colleges and Universities and trade schools is that colleges are supposed to (emphasis on supposed) create people who are well-rounded. I am very glad that when I got my business degree I also had courses in fine arts, law, literature, social studies, history, etc. They DID make me a more rounded individual and stoked my thirst for knowledge.
If you want to take courses for a particular craft, go to a trade school.
