There is something to be learned in required classes

Today’s font-page package talks about All-University Core
Curriculum. You know, those required classes – beloved speech,
natural sciences and everyone’s favorite, freshman composition. But
no matter how much you might think these classes are a waste a
time, they might help you more than you know or are willing to
admit.
Without the university requiring AUCC classes, CSU would simply
become a trade school. Students come here to get well-rounded
education – as clich� as that sounds, it’s true. CSU, and
any respectable institution of higher education, has a
responsibility to its students to provide core classes promoting
the learning of all disciplines. The principle behind AUCC classes
is to better prepare you for life after college, not just a
career.
Though we can all argue about details, the idea of AUCC classes
is a good thing. Not everyone knows what they are going to major in
during their freshman year. AUCC classes can supplement a student’s
major or interest.
Though you may say you didn’t learn anything in CO150 or that
you thought speech was a waste of time, we bet if you go back, you
might find something, if only one thing, that was worthwhile.
