Spice up your schedule with some of Hopkins' wackier courses
Looking to grab a few extra credits studying something that'll really blow your mind? Check out of some of the more interesting courses on offer this year:
190.209 Contemporary International Politics
Ever wonder how to start a global thermonuclear war? CIP will give you the knowledge you need - it's a whirlwind tour through the history and theories of power, diplomacy and strategy on the world stage. You'll learn the basics of domination, pillaging and violence, from Sparta to scud missiles, while reading text from a variety of positions.
661.150 Oral Presentations
Don't leave college without acquiring the most useful skill of all - bullshitting on your feet. Take Oral Presentations and learn to defend your oddball ideas, peddle your wares and convince anyone to sell you their grandmother.
150.225 Introduction to Moral Philosophy
Take Intro to Moral and you probably won't emerge a better person - let's face it, all great ethical theorists from Socrates to Sartre were incurable assholes - but you will be able to develop profound analyses of your own terrible sins.
570.303. The Environment and Your Health
Terrify your friends with your intimate knowledge of the plague-carrying microbes that call their hairdos home. You'll never shake hands with - nor touch, for that matter - anyone again.
080.305. The Nervous System
If you ever wondered why you forget your dreams or get jet lagged, take The Nervous System, where you'll study exactly what it is that makes you so clever. You'll learn how your eyeballs work, why you get the jitters and exactly how opium renders you capable of flight.
383.111. Beginning Sanskrit
Nothing impresses at a cocktail party like fluency in a dead-and-buried liturgical text. Once you've written the first Sanskrit-language emo track, who could stop you?
