THE FUSE

Just the thought of general education requirements often conjures up dread. Many students see it as an obstacle course with numerous hurdles preventing them from what they most want to pursue. Claiming it's not why they're in college, students regard these requirements as a waste of time and money. Parents, too, are often on a mission looking for cheaper alternatives for their college kids to "knock these out," reinforcing the idea that they're nothing more than expensive, irritating roadblocks.
