What do you mean by general studies? 20 of my 158 undergrad hours were something besides engineering, statistics, or math. We had no electives, only technical electives. Two of those twenty was my one english class, the engineering ethics of sci-fi. The rest was two philosophy courses (epistemology is fun), two psychology courses (cog-sci is fun) and two history courses required by the state. I did have to take technical writing and engineering ethics, which might be argued to be general studies?
