Maybe you should consider transferring then? College is there to increase your breadth of knowledge. Ask yourself how many of your friends who never went to college critically analyze the world around them or have well thought out discussions about things bigger than themselves (cosmos, patterns in the world, science, etc). Remember, SA is the exception!

Creativity comes from limits (and knowledge). In art schools, students are told to only use certain materials for a reason. Why do you think we have coding competitions where the winner has the fewest lines of code or can do the most in 48 hours?

While I can understand your viewpoint, it just sounds like you need to either change your major or school or both. I went to a university where we had to co-op (read lots of internships that didn't involve getting coffee) and my core classes depended on mostly group projects solving problems. It is precisely because of this education and my breadth of knowledge that I have ideas connecting completely unrelated ideas.
