I got my CS degree from a small liberal arts school, while also pursuing a creative writing major. I also had the chance to perform music, act in plays, study abroad, and do research with my favorite professors. I was never given the tiniest guidance towards employable skills. I would say it was wholly an education in the humanities, as long as you count math (and why wouldn't you?)

I won't try to argue that this education was superior other methods, but I will say I think it's worked incredibly well for me.
