In this country, we believe that a well-rounded education produces a superior mind. The fact is that studying subjects unrelated to your major develops your brain in useful ways. You might be interested to know that some police departments have contracted with art historians to teach their detectives art history in order to improve their powers of observation. By the same token, studying history and English literature might develop critical thinking skills that a criminologist can use, just as an English major will benefit from math and science classes in terms of analytical thinking. Everything you study seriously is good for the brain, for the intellect. You will be the better for it. I guarantee.
