eli5 American college subjects

1.98K views

I live in Australia where if you study a particular degree, all (or the vast majority) of your subjects are directly related to that field.
I may be wrong but movies tend to give me the impression that at American universities/colleges, all students study a wide array of subjects, attend random lectures, and students room with people studying different things.
It also appears to be a lot about the lifestyle and not just get in, do your study, get your degree.

Are American studies specialised or more general?
Thank you! 🫶

I’m an American university student in engineering. Out of the 40 courses I have to take, 31 of them are engineering classes (most of which are directly related to what I’m doing, although 1 or 2 are more general science requirements), and an additional 3 are free electives which could be related things if I felt like it
