This is a great idea. It's also a two-thousand year-old idea, updated to include golf and "art (specifically design)." Missing from the list of possible courses is a study of elevated language as a tool of persuasion (as in Longinus' On the Sublime), but aside from that it looks like the study of Rhetoric in the most generalized sense.
I went to pull the url for Wiki's page on Rhetoric and noticed this gem half way down: "The Greeks liked to use rhetoric especially if there was a fire."--something Scott Adams might have said. I'm sure it'll be gone tomorrow. Anyway, the link:

- gjm11 16y ago> The Greeks liked to use rhetoric especially if there was a fire. Ye gods. Fixed it. (The edit that introduced that text did nothing else. The user who made that edit has made no other edits to Wikipedia. [EDITED to add: and the account was created 2 minutes before that edit.] Looks like vandalism, though a rather odd sort of vandalism.)
