Look at how branched we are!
Yay! Useless! Now, if only we could get humanities folk to branch out and take some science classes so they can learn how to think, rather than blindly parroting newspapers, we'd be in business.
For example, one computer science program is based in the College of Letters and Science, requiring students to take breadth requirements in areas outside their fields in order to graduate, like arts, literature or philosophy, Downey said.
Wow! That totally hones communication skills! Philosophy! Since apparently no engineers write for the Daily Cal, no one could point out that every program in Letters and Science, and Engineering, for that matter, requires students to take such courses.
Here's a better hint on what hones communication skills: Communication! Yes, actually start doing jobs and stuff, and you'll learn how to communicate. Take courses on useless topics... uh... well, maybe you'll learn how to communicate on useless topics.
