If you knew what comprised the liberal arts, you might not say that...or

included in the liberal arts.

Yes but they are watered down courses that don't require (or teach) in
depth knowledge. Ask any engineer or physicist who has studied the
real thing.
That's just bull****. Universities typically have "Colleges of Arts and
Sciences," and the courses contained within usually are the same
offerings any student who wants to take can take, assuming the pre-reqs
are met. Once you get past the typical freshman "101" stuff, you are
into the real thing. I'm not saying "easier" courses don't exist here
and there but for the most part what you are describing is fiction. If,
for example, you are "pre-med" in a college of arts and sciences and
majoring in biology, the classes you take are going to be on the same
list of offerings other students in the college of arts and sciences can
take.
