Most Ridiculous College Classes Ever

Here is a list of some of the dumbest college classes ever offered:

14. Learning From YouTube at Pitzer College-  This one is great because you don't get in trouble for watching YouTube in class.  In fact, it's encouraged.
13. Arguing with Judge Judy: Popular Logic on TV Judge Shows at UC Berkeley- In the afternoons when this class is held, Judge Judy is the only thing on TV.  So even if you ditch, you're still stuck with Judge Judy.  Is this some kind of sick joke?

12. Finding Dates Worth Keeping at Sioux Falls College- If you can't find a date in this class, I don't know where you can.
11. Alien Sex at University of Rochester- Ummm, what?

10. The Art of Walking at Centre College- You start by learning the C-Walk, B-Walk, G-Walk, Pimp-Walk, and all the other gangsteresque walks.  Then your final exam is a Parkour Course.
9. The Joy of Garbage at Santa Clara University- This class is a great excuse for why your room is such a dump.
8. Cyberporn and Society at State University of New York at Buffalo- Or as I like to call it, an A+ for perverts.
7. Maple Syrup at Alfred University- "We elves try to stick to the four main food groups: candy, candy canes, candy corns and maple syrup." -Elf

6. UFOs in American Society at Temple University- The professor was actually abducted by aliens.  He just stands in the front of the class and trips out about it for 3 hours a week.
5. The Science of Harry Potter at Frostburg State University- Who wouldn't take this class?

4. Philosophy and Star Trek at Georgetown University- I wonder if this professor is a Trekkie.
3. Underwater Basket Weaving at University of California San Diego- Synchronized swimming + arts and crafts = this class and awesomeness.

2. The Strategy of StarCraft at University of California Berkeley- Great, now your nerdy roommate has a legitimate excuse for playing StarCraft for 39 hours straight.
1. Alantis Morissette Appreciation Class hosted by Diane Stark, not for any real academic credit- Isn't this ironic?


If you're interested in finding more ridiculous classes, just go to the Brown University Course Catalog, search around a bit, and enjoy.

That's it - I'm starting a petition right now to make The Science of Harry Potter a requirement for graduating from SHERP. I'll even teach it myself.

I'll inspire my students like Hermione Granger in an inner-city school: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS7xDS24GGE
