hello. I’m writing to ask if a student could appeal his degree requirements (area requirements?)

I feel pretty upset that I’m having to take so many requirements about topics I’m not interested in. If I write a letter to the Dean or whoever would this have at least some consideration? I feel like it’s taking away from my UVA experience. I feel like I would grow academically if I just take classes that feeds my passion. i’m interested in one specific subject and would like to take time to enhance this subject and my abilities within it rather than waste time in other classes.

any thoughts?
