College Courses So Cool They Almost Make The Student Debt Worth It

Colleges and universities across America are struggling to engage with students. Half the population can’t afford to go to college and the ones that do just want to get in and out with as little debt as possible. It makes getting good enrollment numbers pretty hard for some colleges.

To combat the issue, many departments are introducing more exciting courses to bring in students. Just take a look at MIT. They now teach both regular computer programming, and how to finally beat your older sibling at Streetfighter II. These strange college courses are so cool that you might actually want to go back for an extra semester.

How To Win a Beauty Pageant

Offered by Oberlin Experimental College, the full course title is actually: How To Win A Beauty Pageant: Race, Gender, Culture, and U.S. National Identity, but that’s not as exciting.

If you’re a fan of Toddlers & Tiaras, then the course is probably a letdown. But the class does get to go on a field trip to watch a beauty pageant.
