One of the requirements for my history degree was introductory calculus. It was never adequately explained why.

So as you could calculate the results of the dreadful calculus every time it occurred.
Edit: To be serious, I would consider courses in ethics and critical thinking to be fairly essential in any course. I was fairly lucky in my course that I had a few lecturers and tutors who were of the opinion that the why and the consequences of various financial decisions and shady dealings were at least as important to impart to students as the mechanics of GAAP (business degree majoring in accounting). If I had just simply been taught the principles and techniques of accounting, I'd never have been able to see what the profession had become by the early 2000's, or how warped in thinking most economists are.
