Coolest College Courses
- khafra 17y agoFor decades, I've heard "underwater basket weaving" used as a metonym for useless, transcript-padding courses; I hadn't realized it actually existed. Perhaps if the title were taught more literally, and combined with SCUBA certification, it would catch on among hackers.
- Tangurena 17y agoOne class I actually took was called "Women, Witches and Healing" which was about the history of healing practitioners in Europe. http://www.fau.edu/academic/registrar/09-10_catalog/nursingDES.html http://www.fau.edu/academic/registrar/09-10_catalog/nursingD... While this list sounds moderately interesting, very few of the classes appeal to me. Heck, there's a community college in KS that offers a class in welding with thermite. That sounds way cool, even though I'd never do it (it was part of their railroad curriculum). And dozens of land grant colleges offer classes in beekeeping, Another thing that this city dweller would never be able to do.
