College Confidential can’t answer this. Try to make an appointment with you Association Dean. Keep in mind that the average student’s academic interests evolve and are requirements help expose them to options they didn’t explore in the past.

FWIW, I didn’t love every course I took in college. The common joke at my undergrad alma mater was that one series of courses was only useful if one aspired to be on Jeopardy. Though challenging and not in line with my major, I’m thankful for those courses now. A broad foundation allows for agility. Getting too narrow, too quickly can limit future options.
