That's completely understandable, and I'm not entirely objecting to having to take a higher level math course to earn my degree, I just wish the course options were a bit more open ended so students are able to better tailor their education to what they want to do after graduation. There are a ton of majors that fall under our lib arts curriculum, and only two potential classes that count toward our math credit.
