After completing a BS in CS and working for a few years, I see most of the humanities and social science classes as the true waste. I have yet to use anything I learned in "History of Arch." or in "Psychology" on the job or life. I understand that universities think that employers want "well-rounded" students. However, I believe employers want students who can handle the job. I, as a student would have preferred additional CS courses in replacement of some of the other courses.

To your point of the mathematics classes and other sciences, I think maybe more of them should be electives so that a student needs 6 math/science classes and he/she can chose whether to go to high levels of math or to study more chemistry, physics etc. This would allow students to chose the classes that might line up better with the industry or field they are planning on.
