Most degrees require at least two math courses, i.e. College Algebra, and another (Statistics, Trig, etc.) in order to meet the general requirements.

College freshmen are required to take all kinds of coursework that may seem unnecessary or unrelated to their majors. I was an engineering student (ME) but I was required to take freshman Chem & English Comp like everybody else. For me it was a repeat of stuff that I had in High School and a complete waste of my time (and tuition).

Most degrees require some math/science electives for a well rounded education.
