Hahaha

A good friend of mine has to do the same. He thought he was done but is missing his math requirements. I asked him why you need math and what it has to do with reading and he couldn't answer it either.

Another semester for him to finish out his degree.

Because universities want you to have some sort of balance in your education.

They're basic courses that all universities have you take. Plus, everywhere you go you will use math.
