You can't force people to become well-rounded.

Sure you can, whether they want it or not. To paraphrase the Dean
of the School of Engineering (a graduate of that school and a
top-notch guy whom I came to know and respect in the years that I
was there - may he rest in peace) at our orientation: "If you want
a degree from this instituition (one of the top three engineering
schools in the country) you will have to take the all courses that
we give when we give them. If you want to have "free choice" and
take or don't take only what you want or when you want it, you can
go to Basket-Weaving University and let someone who wants to be here
take your place." (Admissions were 100 per year out of a field of
2000 qualified applicants per year.)
