Trinity University in San Antonio, TX has a “History of Baseball” class which I was told was one of the hardest classes on campus. Angelo State University also has a “History of Rock and Roll” class which too is extremely difficult.

A friend of mine who attended the University of Michigan on a football scholarship took this gem: Game Theory. The class played Candyland, Monopoly, Battleship, Risk, etc. Not sure if it’s saying anything, but he did say it was mostly populated by athletes…

There were courses at my friend’s college called “A History of the Furry Fandom” and “Appreciating the Comic Genius of the Three Stooges”.

At the much commented UCSC in 1974: Birth of a Poet, “taught” by the beat poet William Everson. No entrance requirements, no attendance records, no exit requirements. Just go listen and talk with a famous writer…At the behest of the admin he did add keeping a “dream journal” as a requirement, but I never remember my dreams so I felt compelled to write and read dada-punk poetry…

I was going to apply for my MBA program at one school that was previously affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, but I changed my mind when I found out I would have to take “Ethics of the Bible”. Yikes!!

I go to College of the Ozarks, and we used to require capstone courses for juniors and seniors that changed every semester. There was one about the Harry Potter series, one about Tolkien, one about murder mysteries, etc. Unfortunately, the school changed the requirement at the end of my freshman year. I am sincerely disappointed that I don’t get to take a class in Harry Potter (I already have the textbooks!).
