I strongly disagree what the argument that university should take various courses outside their field of study. In the first place, the fact that every student has distinctive personality of his or her own should not be ignored. So several questions emerge. Is it suitable for some students who have deep enthusiasm on their field of study to take various courses? Are they willing to take such courses? What is the scope of the various courses? From a practical perspective, is it necessary to add to the already heavy burdens of specialized students? Unless these questions can be addressed, the argument is a poor one.
Before considering what course content to include in an education, one should first consider what education is. Socrates theory of education, for example, claimed that one should look into ones self and find the spark of truth that God has put into every heart. This spark of truth could be kindled into a flame. Despite theological ideology undertones, this says a lot about education—the individual is an important subject to consider when preparing education. It is not useful to insist that everyone take a variety of courses but that a variety of courses are offered to everybody. More specifically, it is important to offer not just a variety of courses, but a track of diverse courses that are diverse in that they lend a better overall understanding in an area of study but not so diverse that they distract from one another. In short, one should consider quality over quantity.
No educational policy should be set in place that is counterproductive and so, in conclusion, one must first consider true education. When the spirit of education is in mind, one must consider the natural inclination of the individual. When these two matters are taken into account, then a set of subjects can be offered for study—not mandated—for the benefit of the individual.
