No. Actually, just the opposite. I'm saying that flexibility is a very good thing, especially at the undergraduate level, when you're just learning what your career field involves. This means that the program should be flexible enough that you can jump from one major to another freely, and pick up enough information to have a reasonable background in real-world knowledge.
I don't like the idea that a science major has the background to change their mind and become a humanities major, but that a humanities major has a lot more trouble going to other direction. And I think that a good general education would incorporate both sides at a leve closer to equality.

Did that make any sense?
