I had to take a Literature prereq for my Business major as mandatory. I complained to my Dean that unless I write poetry in my financial report, it’s totally useless. She wouldn’t hear of it.
My son took a Latin American literature course last semester. He’s a marketing major.
I did too, and I thought the same thing. Once I was in the class I got into it. Everyone knew I was an accounting major, the only one in that class as it was a Senior level class (only one available). They really were ticked off when I got a “gold star” (an A without taking a final).
