[This is drifting away from soc.feminism relevance.  I would suggest followups
to misc.education.                                              - MHN]

The entire topic over which is a more difficult study, science or
humanities, is moot. It is impossible to argue over someone's personal
biases toward a particular interest of study. 

However, I would like to bring up the main point that the current
programs that most universities offer seem to be prejudiced against
the science department. A liberal arts degree is alleged to make
a student "well-rounded", but it seems to do so without much 
concern about basic ideas and concepts in the area of science and
nature. 

An enginneing student, for example, receives a much larger background
in the humanities than a liberal arts student would in the sciences.
Check out the types of courses in your collage listings for each
degree requirements. In fact, it seems every year, new requirements
are being place upon students in engineering such as public speaking,
other writing courses, etc. to ever widen their scope of the world.

It is because of these problems that deprive students in these 
liberal arts (a lot of them women) from obtaining a proper education.
