Maybe that has to do more with the quality of humanities education that you have been exposed to? Of course, you don't need a university to learn computer science, math, or physics; I'd argue even less so than for history, for instance.

The weakness of a cirriculum defined by the student is that it isn't informed by those that have expertise. It's a disadvantage that is very difficult to compensate for.
