Ah, the problems with the college. College majors are by design imperfect. Journalism, Math, Computer Science - those are very broad strokes and rarely map directly to the skills one would need for a job. OP's is a good example of why college education should move away from majors and departments, and into something more akin to "individualized studies." My undergrad had something like that. For students who had a passion and an idea of what they wanted to learn, it was golden. They got to design their own unique, multidisplinary paths through university.

Agree that it's very hard for academia to keep up with industry, and the shortcomings of the design of college majors. I still see value in a liberal arts undergraduate education, but that's awesome your school had more leniency with individual studies.
