All colleges require these courses but there are some pros and cons to it. It prepares students to be all rounded academically no matter their major. It also benefits people with undecided majors because you have some time to contemplate what you are going to major in while taking these Gen Ed courses. It is on the other hand counterproductive in some ways because some students see it as a waste of time to be taking courses that they will clearly never use in their field, and it also is a negative for schools that have low retention rates. The more courses, the longer you have to stay in school. Expunging these courses will cut down ones schooling about 1 if not 2 years. In conclusion, there are positives and negatives to Gen Ed courses.
