I don't quite understand the usefulness of humanities and science prerequirements.
I have taken 5 semesters of maths, 2 semesters of chemistry, 2 semesters of physics, technical writing, physical anthropology... And I don't think it made me a better EMT and I doubt it would make me a better paramedic if I decide to become one (although it was pretty interesting to see real human skeletons). From what I heard about "maths for paramedics", it does not involve anything more complicated than dimensional analysis (and they teach it in high school).
A&P - sure, this is another story, and I am considering taking it if I decide to pursue a minor in bioengineering and/or enter a paramedic program (yeah, I'm then going to continue volunteering and bring medics' salaries down, I'm a bad person, I know), but all the other stuff?
