>provides me the opportunity to challenge myself and not be restricted to the 10 or 12 classes available in a major

This seems like an exaggeration to me. Looking back at my BS I took about 45 classes total (not including labs). Of the 45 classes 16 were specifically for my major (EE), 14 were science/math/engineering, and the last 15 were general education.
