You need a certain number of total credits to get a college degree - even an associate degree (2 years). That includes a broad spectrum of classes such as math, science, English literature, English composition, etc. to make you a well-educated, well-rounded person. So I guess the answer to your question is yes, you need classes other than those directly related to your major.
