A "liberal arts" and a "humanities" degree are not the same thing. A true liberal arts degree encompasses both the arts and humanities AND math and science. Somewhere along the line "liberal arts" became synonymous with "humanities" but that was not the original intention of the degree. It was designed to create well rounded critical thinkers with strong written and verbal communication skills who were just as versed in math and the physical sciences as they were in literature, history, and the social sciences. There are a few combined ArtSci programs but they tend to be very small and selective. Another example would be PPE programs (Politics, Philosophy, & Economics) though the study of the physical sciences is not included. Many universities do have breadth requirements for all programs but often times the courses offered to satisfy the requirement are pure fluff. The problem with STEM programs is that they often don't leave room to be able to take many courses outside the faculty.
