Some universities require students to take classes in many subjects. Other universities require
students to specialize in one subject. Which is better? Use specific reasons and examples to
support your answer.
Sample essay 1.
Some universities require students to choose a variety of subjects; others only require students to
specialize in one subject. I deem the first one as the premier choice. Among countless factors,
there are three conspicuous aspects as follows.
The main reason for my propensity that students should take classes in many subjects is that they
can make full use of the abundant resources that a university has to offer. A university has plenty
of educational and research resources. It is a very good idea to make full use of these valuable
assets while studying in the university. The best way to achieve this is to take a variety of subjects
as much as possible. Through learning these courses, a student can get access to knowledge and
resources in different areas. On the contrary, if a student only specializes in one subject, he will
not have a chance to get access to other resources offered by the university.
Another reason can be seen by every person is that by choosing many subjects students can
broaden their knowledge and make a solid foundation for their future concentrated study.
Whatever the student will concentrate on in his senior years in college, it is necessary that he
choose a wide range of subjects to build the knowledge foundation. Take the field of Business
Management for example, the student has to acquire knowledge in writing, accounting, economics
and human resource management before he can successfully start his major concentration study.
The argument I support in the first paragraph is also in a position of advantage because students
can be more adaptable in their future career if they choose a variety of subjects during their
university study. It is obvious that the development of modern society requires people with interdisciplinary
and comprehensive knowledge. If a student chooses a variety of subjects in his
university study, and gained a breath and width of knowledge, he will be more adaptable to the
requirement of the society, and be able to easily adjust to many kinds of jobs. This will benefit his
future career.
In a word, taking into account of all these factors, we may reach the conclusion that students
should take classes in many subjects in a university.

The whole point of my answer is that it is better for universities to require students to specialize in
one subject. It is just what the majors are called for, even though there are a couple of the
advantages of students’ taking classes in many subjects.
It is a more sensible decision that universities require students to specialize in one subject. They
must have known that the depth of a certain subject is infinite while both the students’ energy and
time are limited. It probably tells the truth. Only when a student just specializes in one subject, can
he focus on it. Thus it ensures the students more likely to be a kind of expert in some subject
when they are given the degrees. That is just the purpose of so-called education.
It does not mean that students have not too many classes to attend even if they just specialize one
subject. There are a lot of sub-subjects or divisions of a main subject. The science of journalism,
for example, can include the theories of journalism, the histories of journalism both domestic and
international, the news writing skills, the interview courses and the editorials writing and so on.
The students have to study all of these above course as journalism major. It does mean a lot of
work to do even if students just specialize one subject.
I do not deny there are a couple of advantages for universities to require students to take in many
subjects. One thing, the work places require so-called generalist today. Students who take many
subjects may probably mean the opportunity of meeting that request. Another is that students who
take in many subjects can also help their main subject. Thus probably can help them study what
they are majoring better. Whatever the benefit it will be, however, students taking any other
subjects should not interfere their main target.
In the whole, I thought that universities could allow students to take subjects as many as possible
if their times and energies were available. However, I think that possibility is faint. So I have to
say that it is better for universities just to urge students to specialize in one subject. After all, the
main subject is already a lot of work to cope with, considering the depth and width of one subject.
