TOP 5: Unique and Unexpected CSU Classes
Who says college classes can’t be fun, or even thrilling? Columbus State University offers a few unique and unexpected classes that may capture your interest, and have you running to a computer to register. Okay, maybe not running, but at least wiping your groggy eyes at 5:55 A.M. to save your spot for what could become your new favorite class.
Breaking Bad (ENGL 1102)
Are you dreading taking that traditional English class, and being forced to read and write long essays about well-worn classics? CSU offers an English course dedicated solely to the popular television show Breaking Bad. All of your assignments (yes, even essays) and class activities will be about the meth-infused show. You will even get to watch TV in class.
Paranormal Psychology (PSYC 3105)
Have you ever found yourself wondering about the spirit world? Maybe you doubt that it exists. Maybe you are confident that it does. Whatever your stance may be, you can explore the science behind paranormal phenomena in CSU’s Pseudopsychologies and the Paranormal class. If you loved your PSYC 1101 class, take the next step into the psychology world with some paranormal activity.
Pickle Ball (PEDS 1349)
Do you need an innovative way to motivate yourself into physical fitness? CSU offers a class in pickle ball, a fun sport that combines different aspects of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong into an indoor or outdoor activity that can be played in either singles or doubles. With this class, you will be able to knock out your physical fitness course requirement.
Swahili (SWAH 1101/1102)
Have you always wanted to acquire a skill that you can brag about to all of your friends? Speaking Swahili can become your new talent. CSU offers a cool way to complete your foreign language requirement with this unique language. After taking this class, you’ll always have something to show off.
Lord of the Rings (ITDS 1145)
Are you one of those people who always thinks that the book is better than the movie? You have the opportunity to prove that theory with J.R.R Tolkien’s novel “The Lord of the Rings.” You will compare major themes and narratives between the novel and films. This class will be a great way to fulfill one of your humanities course requirements over the summer.
