While specialists had their heyday in the past when learners were only required to equip themselves with skills and knowledge in a certain field, generalists are certainly more popular and need by people in contemporary time, because the highly-developed society are now making higher and more comprehensive demands on individuals. As a consequent, universities, as the most important educational places, are pondering over more scientific cultivating plans to keep up with the society. One of the crucial problems is that whether school should require all its students to attend a wide variety of courses beyond their own domains of study or not. And I believe it is necessary but should not be a rigid requirement for each individual student.   In the first place, before the students have the opportunities to try some domains of study, they would never know which one is their favorite or could become their career rather than just jobs. For example, a great majority of Chinese college freshmen choose their profession based on their presuppositions of these fields, because they have never been informed of the real situation of the study in college, which is quite different from that of senior school in China. And most of these students are learning in an area which they have little passion for and do not enjoy at all.  Fortunately, some universities allow these students to learn other courses then to decide their which their final choice is before their third year in school. Therefore, universities should provide the opportunities for students to try and experience, otherwise students could never find their career but could only find a job.   In the second place, acquiring knowledge and skills from other fields is rewarding for the study of students’ own fields, because this could give them a better perspective of critical and comprehensive thinking towards their own profession. For instance, a student who is learning Western Literature Theory may have to get nutrition from courses of History of Western Philosophy, because a lot of these theorists were at the same time famous philosophers and in order to understand their literature theory better and more deeply students have to learn their thoughts holistically. And also, if those who are professional in Interface Design have chances to hone and improve their drawing skills, they are more likely to achieve more in their own fields, as fine arts provide a designer more inspirations and skills. In one word, as knowledge and skills are something as a whole and the artificial division of discipline has its own shortcomings, study in other domains is obviously a boon for students.   However, something good should not be something good rigidly, which is actually bad. Forceful requirement on study beyond students’ own fields do have its adversary effects. For example, learning so much in limited years is time-consuming and to some students arduous and formidable. And it is evident that students’ ability is on various levels and specific profession has its particular demand for students. Therefore, the requirement is supposed not to be unified but individualized.   In conclusion, although learning extensively is a boon for everyone if it is made an individualized requirement, if we make it an inflexible request, it will become inevitably a bane.
