In order to become well-rounded individuals, all college students should be required to take courses in which they read poetry, novels, mythology, and other types of imaginative literature.

School students have poetry and classics as a part of their curriculum. It is generally in the teenage years where one explores the world of novels and such imaginative literature. Various colleges also provide electives or options to students for taking up courses in mythologies and others that encourage imagination. However, it should not be made compulsory for all students in college to take up some courses in literature.
Firstly, colleges generally offer degree courses that take three or four years to complete. Devoting time to imaginative literature means taking away time from core courses. There is already various number of courses that have to be taught which makes taking out time for other activities difficult. It would be prudent for students to devote time to study a field in depth.
Also, people do not see direct impact of taking up such courses. Students are willing to take courses that help them prepare a refined and specific resume to impress their employer. Students are willing to take up esoteric topics in their own fields rather than take up something in a different field. The main purpose of graduating, it seems today, has been limited to achieving a high paying job, and increasing competition is supporting this attitude. Today colleges are judged by the criteria of average pay their students receive on campus placements. This encourages colleges to prepare students for the careers rather than for a life. The ultimate quest for the students is to be able to get a job at their dream companies. Hence, students nor colleges are inclined to the proposal of making imaginative literature mandatory.
However, in some of the private colleges that are already well reputed and need not worry about placements, can give this proposal a try. It would be beneficial as imagination is required in every innovation. Though, it may be hard to see short term benefits, in the long run this scheme could pay off by giving their students a edge over the others. Nonetheless, such scheme will require the support from both the student and the college faculty, as forced curriculum will not be fruitful.
Thus, majority of the colleges where the focus of study is the core subject, courses on imaginative literature will take up time without providing instant positive results. There may be limited number of institutes where students and college are willing to take up this opportunity.
