Some people believe that universities should require every student to takea variety of courses outside the student's field of study. Others believe thatuniversities should not force students to take any courses other than thosethat will help prepare them for jobs in their chosen fields.

The speaker talks about a controversial topic about students' takingcourses outside the university. Some people concur that students are supposedto take different courses outside students' field of study. Inversely, someother people reckon that universities should restrict students' courses into anarea that is beneficial to their future jobs. It's quite easy to see that prosand cons are in each side of the view, but from my point of view, a propercombination of the two opinions will better the suggestions concerning thisissue.
Surely a broad horizon derives from more courses outside school will makestudents more competitive and promising. College students are the people whojust finished K-12 general education and step into one of the branches of thetree of knowledge. Although they have already accepted more than ten years'education in natural science as well as social science, there are still a hostof things that they don't even dabble in. Stepping into a college, ahypothetical student, majoring in biology, hardly has chances to know theeffects of force in physics or what the Cauchy-Riemann equations are in complexanalysis from typical biological courses required by school. Of course he maynot this knowledge in his work, but the encyclopedic outlook he has willprobably enlighten him when thinking about a problem in his work. For instance,knowing the mechanism of force between two objects, he may easily figure outhow our hearts pump blood. This implies that courses outside study arebeneficial to broadening student's outlook.
Nevertheless, most people are realistic in the status quo, so some peoplerecommend students take courses relative to their field which is helpful forthem to find a well-contented job in the future. It is true that many companieswant their employees have a good command of what they have learned in collegeso that they will get into the job quicker and better. In this sense, takingmore courses about their major will make their goals clearer and more specific.Students are willing to earn more money than other rivals who are not so in it.Furthermore, imagine the situation that two people are both in an interview byGoldman Sachs, one who know a lot about how ATP in human bodies is broken downto fuel us will have no chance to display this and beat the other. But if theother interviewee knows a little bit more about how to issue IPOs, he is morelikely to be hired by the company.
Taken together, a combination of courses outside the field of study andones relative to their chosen fields seems laudable. Only doing works otherthan their major, students are more easily to be mired in the dilemma that theydon't have a specific thought about what they will do in the further althoughthey know a lot; staying away from the other worlds of knowledge is alsocounterproductive because students hardly have opportunity to be acomprehensive elite. When we consider matching both of them properly, studentsis much more likely to benefit from the general education and maximum their ownpotential.
A better college education milieu is definitely needed by the wholesociety. But the matter about courses after school remains to becomprehensively considered. Courses both relative to students' majors and referringto other fields are helpful in some extent. As a consequence, a propercombination of the two views in the statement seems more beneficial andprovident. |
