I must have missed your question. In high school I had a
rigorous and excellent course in American History. I also had
five years worth of French (beginning in the 8th Grade). As
an undergrad I didn't have to take many liberal arts courses,
being a science major, but did take courses in Philosophy,
Economics, Medieval History, and Greek Mythology.

I don't regard my liberal arts background as being deficient
relative to that of most college graduates. However, I do
wish that I had taken some business courses and if I could do
it again, I would try for a second major in finance or accounting.
