eli5 American college subjects

1.88K 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! 🫶

Classes are specialized towards your degree, however, many colleges make you take basic classes your freshman semester. Additionally, the degree may have a few electives you can pick not related to your degree. I majored in a science degree, but I took a few classes not related that I was interested in, and it counted for credits towards my degree.
