Math and the physical sciences, for example, are included in the liberal arts. === Yes but they are watered down courses that don't require (or teach) in depth knowledge. Ask any engineer or physicist who has studied the real thing. That's just bull****. Universities typically have "Colleges of Arts and Sciences," and the courses contained within usually are the same offerings any student who wants to take can take, assuming the pre-reqs are met. Once you get past the typical freshman "101" stuff, you are into the real thing. I'm not saying "easier" courses don't exist here and there but for the most part what you are describing is fiction. If, for example, you are "pre-med" in a college of arts and sciences and majoring in biology, the classes you take are going to be on the same list of offerings other students in the college of arts and sciences can take. Is that why NASA covets Kansas Klown Kollege graduates and shuns MIT graduates.? You are such a dip****, Harry. All you are doing is offering up further evidence of your ignorance, **** for brains.
