If this (or any other form of physical activity) isn’t for you…

Though being a nearly insignificant number of credits, one credit courses require a disproportionate prerequisites or other department specific eligibilities. But some of us might be still scrambling to make the 12 credit limit or are in four classes and really want see our number of credits round out to an even number. For the stressed and the compulsive and everyone in between, here is a list of one credit courses that may or may not be applicable to your academic interests but will probably be better than any P.E class:

  • The English Conference. Must be taken for P/F credit (!) and the class is basically programmed time for you to have exposure to visiting scholars.
  • Programming Language. 1 credit = 1 language. Sometimes CS really makes sense.
  • Emerging Scholars. If you don’t yet think CS makes sense, try it out for yourself, in a one-a-week discussion with no homework and no programming!
  • Basically all Barnard Dance classes. There’s definitely a group of non-Dance majors that stay loyal to the Dance department and have one of these courses in their schedules each semester. We hear they’re fun but Bwog doesn’t like to emit more than two (2) pints of sweat each day.
  • Colloquium: Stem & Education. Whether you’re a first-year interested in STEM, or a senior trying to get one more credit, this class is open to ya.
  • Biology Journal Club. Sounds more resume-ready than any book club or “literary society” you’re a member of.
  • Pumpkin Pie to CSI. For pre-med hopefuls who really aren’t sure. If you don’t feel like you’re ready for Gen Chem (understandable), take this class.
  • Intro to Sustainable Development Seminar. It’s only open to prospective sustainable development majors and concentrators, but apparently it rocks.
  • Pick up an independent study!
  • Join the crew of a Theater department production!
