Definitely. A good university will have you take courses from multiple disciplines to encourage curiosity and exploring topics that you wouldn't have otherwise. I actually really appreciated my psychology and philosophy courses even though I definitely had no interest in them as careers. I also found that even though I had a lot of interest in being a nuclear engineer I'm not good enough at math, nor do I enjoy math at that level.
