I agree with this, what I dislike is how some of the requirements are defined. I don't believe that a student should be forced to take x number of humanities courses, along with y number of arts of expression courses. I think the system would be better served having a requirement for general education, but not defining the subjects that must be taken. Allow the student to explore his/her interests. I have taken some very useful and interesting courses, but have also taken some worthless ones due to being forced to choose between a narrow selection to complete some requirements.
