Journalism? Not sure if such a degree exists in the Anglo education system.

many of the sciences could be applied to stories, but they don't necessarily make you a better writer unless they're high science fiction or very, very detailed with lots of descriptions

knowing how something works makes how you play with it much easier to comprehend and write about.

Pretty much any language degree that isn't an African language (except maybe Gikuyu, a Kenyan language). Any European language, Arabic, Farsi, Turkish, Japanese, Mandarin, Russian and Hindi/Urdu/Bengali (all roughly mutually intelligible) would open you up to a whole new canon; this would definitely improve your writing.

Yeah, that artist who killed his wife accidentally because his medium was dangerous bacteria was based. It's like that couple who kept a black mamba as a pet, then it escaped and killed them both. So based to be badass.

Math papers demand that syntax and semantics be highly precise. You can also end up writing in excruciatingly dense loglish (see: Donald Davidson) but wrapping that precision in a conversational vernacular like Hilary Putnam does can make for some incredible analytic essay writing that's better than most of the critical theory papers lit PhD's put out.
