<p>The Symphony course, the Art History course, History of Science course and Fantasy and Science Fiction courses were all strictly for me, after the literature, economics, psychology and comm arts courses that fulfilled breadth reqs. Be sure to take courses for the fun of it that won’t “help” your career at all. Likewise it would have been nice to have room for more totally unrelated to my major science courses that liberal arts majors choose to meet their science requirements. </p>
<p>Think of the undergraduate college experience as your only chance in life to be free to study all sorts of things you won’t have time for later. It is not just preparation for a future career. The precise degree you obtain will be irrelevant later. Knowing something about art, music and literature will enhance your enjoyment of these and make it easier for you in future social settings.</p>
<p>Only stupid people consider the arts to be stupid. Intelligent people know one field very well and are not ignorant about the rest of the world.</p>
