I think this in an interesting problem you don't really have in a lot of tertiary education systems else wear (that said, I still think the ability to pick and chose a diverse set of classes is a great model, and better than most). I studied in the UK, so you apply from high school to do, "Computer Science" or, "Physics" or, "English". And that's what you do. You have some choice in terms of the classes and courses you take, but (generally) they're all totally within that sphere. I think having some options to do other courses would be really valuable, but equally it means people don't typically chose to switch from an STEM based degree to something else, and people stick it out (or just drop out).
