Yeah, there will be a basic number of general-education requirements depending upon the university/college, and the school within that college (Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Business, Education, Nursing, Social Work, and so on.)AWvsCBsteeeerike3 wrote: ↑November 11 21, 9:32 amThere's going to be requirements for the arts, languages, and humanities (paging @sighyoung to correct my ignorant terminology/understanding here) regardless of major.
Often there will be a foreign-language requirement, writing requirement, and some exposure to the Humanities, Natural Sciences, and Social Sciences.
There's a lot that a student can do with an interest/strength in math. Besides engineering, many natural-science departments have both a B.A. and B.S., so you can mix and match certain amounts of humanities and social-science courses.
Economics has really changed as a field since I majored in it in the early 80's--it has become more empirical and experimental, which is good--but I find too many universities and departments focus solely on business economics to the exclusion of other subjects in the field. (Both my university and my daughter's school, Centre College, only offer business economics, which I think is a travesty.) But it is one social science in which a Ph.D. would actually pay off, I think, and depending on the subject area, could actually improve people's lives.
Med schools actually state how much math and science they want their applicants to have--usually less than you'd think, so that excellent students in a variety of fields (including the humanities) are encouraged to apply: https://louisville.edu/medicine/admissi ... requisites.
Some fields like Geography and Geosciences might be interesting, as well, and digital technology is becoming important in all fields.
I'm just rambling here, but there's a lot that someone can do with a strong math/science background.
