I think that the right path is the one that each individual will be most receptive to at that point in their life. If someone really wants to be pursuing a BFA but feels that that they “should” be getting a broader education, it is likely that the learning will be a grind and not particularly productive or inspiring. The converse is true as well, if someone pursues a BFA because they’re afraid that if they don’t, they’ll be at a disadvantage.

I think an education – of any kind – is only as good as what the student brings to the process.
