Cahos Rahne Veloza1. Your preferred degree - say you wanna take up, archeology as your college degree, or even Political Science, expect that YOU WILL have History as the back bone of your subjects.2. Your country's policies &/or laws on how or what colleges should be teaching - in some countries, like where I'm from, colleges & Universities require you to take up General Subject courses in the first two years of your course. These subjects are mandatory & often do not relate to your course per se. Subjects include History, sciences, maths just to name a few.3. Your college/University's policies or program persuant to reason number 2 - this is the third reason, which ties in with reason number two. Basically it means, depending on your college/University's policies, regardless of your country's own policies on how/what you should learn, they have the authority to require you or not to take up those General Subjects.Also if I recall correctly what my Professors often tell me, colleges/Universities from western countries (the U.S. &/or in U.K.) generally do not have said General Subjects which makes western schools better than what we have here.Actually, Cahos, most colleges in the U.S. do offer the General Subjects in their curriculum very much like what you have (and I used to be in..) in the Phils. But, it's mostly for the community colleges. (speaking through experience in both worlds)The whole system is very similar, however; you spend two years studying the general subjects encompassed by your chosen course, after which you can transfer to a higher University and study the more advanced subjects tailored specifically for your course.This is all optional of course. You could just directly go to the higher Universities and go through your 4 years there. But personally, I think going through Comm. College is easier and less stressful.So to follow the topic...

At least from what you said the general subjects you'd be taking are related to your course per se, I mean where does "Values Education" or Good Morals & Right Conduct" connect with Physics? Or, where does Arts & Philosophy connect with IT Courses? I tell you, most Universities here, including mine have Curricula that are like 50 or so years old. They don't even change or modernize it to encompass the more newer & more relevant stuff there are out there.When I was still earning my college degree I had three classes that the college department who was supposed to be holding them have long since dropped said classes, but my college department had not changed the curriculum to reflect that. Me & my fellow students of my degree had to request the department to open up a class for a program they have long since abandoned simply because our department wouldn't change our curriculum to suit our needs.
The only thing I hate about school is juggling your personal, business and educational life all at the same time! (I am NOT a fan of Multi-tasking)
