Therefore, you really don't have a definite grasp on one concept like you would had you focused completely on Nursing, English, Engineering, etc.

That's true. LSU raised the standards to get into certain majors, so a lot of students were left out in the cold. You needed at least a 3.0 overall in your lower-level work in order to major in anything in the College of Business and some other colleges, so a lot of students ended up in either General Studies or other majors as a result. As an English major, I am insulted whenever I hear my major or other Liberal Arts majors being placed in the same category.
