I'm against that too. BTW, I got my EE degree in England, and you
don't have to go through any of that wholly irrelevant stuff. No
English, no social studies of any kind, no chemistry (which I
understand is oftem required over here).
Alun, California state undergraduate requirements in the 1960s
had two semesters of American History. Considering our history,
like from the 1776 breakaway, that isn't comparable to what you
had to do in the UK. :-) :-) :-)
I don't know why there is such a fervor of the PCTAs to equate an
academic degree with an amateur radio license class that requires
a demonstrated skill at morsemanship. Maybe the PCTA have a need
to stay with the King Kode rulers of the ARS kingdom? :-)

I don't beleive either academic degrees or ham licences should require
unnecessary stuff, that's all.
Since there is no way to predict where your future interests may lie,
it's impossible to say unequivocally what is unnecessary stuff.

Well, here's an idea. Should you find later that you need to learn about
something, have you ever heard of books? I find them very useful.
