I went from being an EE major at a state school to studying liberal arts at St. John's College in Annapolis, MD (http://sjca.edu http://sjca.edu). My final destination had no textbooks, no grades, and every seminar or tutorial (aka class) wasn't taught by an instructor, but instead focused around conversation and discussion.
I'm a programmer, small business owner, and recently an author. I credit St. John's with helping build the foundation that I've used in my professional life - namely, the ability to listen well and think through problems, and most importantly, "fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion." This is something that most definitely wasn't a priority while chasing an EE degree.
