I have a STEM degree from a liberal arts university. Half of my courses were not part of my major requirements and many if not most were humanities type courses. I've always felt that combination has given me a big advantage over others who went got the same degree from traditional universities. STEM curriculum does not have to exclude "reading, writing, and thinking".

I’m absolutely fine with including the general humanities courses in theory, but in practice that’s tens of thousands of dollars more I have to pull out of my ass somewhere.
same. Not saying you cannot do both.
