> Some schools, like Cornell University and MIT, have created colleges of computing which allows students to remain hyper-focused on the field of computer science without having to take courses outside of these colleges Is that actually true at MIT? As far as I can tell from their website undergraduate students of computing at MIT are still subject to MIT's General Institute Requirements [1]. That includes a Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (HASS) requirement [2]. The HASS requirement includes both a breadth requirement (at least one class from each of arts, humanities, and social sciences) and a depth requirement (3 or 4 classes from one particular field in one of those categories). Here's a list of the fields you can use for the depth requirement [3].
