Yea it's surprising how easy it is to just get a degree. But that's the thing, the basic requirements for STEM has less room for horseshit, which is why they're more desirable.

Having taken some undergraduate math courses where the professor covered far, far less material than they should've and gave way too many good grades, all at a school with an undergrad program with a reputation for being harsh and cutthroat, it makes me shudder to think of what is considered passable work in liberal arts.
