6 Unique Classes Offered at SFSU

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at San Francisco chapter.

Priority registration for next semester’s classes starts on November 30th and goes until December 11th. If you haven’t already, now is probably a good time to browse the course offerings. While you start designing your schedule, maybe make some room for these unique courses offered at SFSU.*

MUS 512 – Rock Since the Mid-1960s

A class that covers the development of rock music from the 1960s to the early 1980s. If you love the Beatles, Led Zeppelin and other classic bands, this class is right up your alley. Fingers crossed there’s extra credit for your air guitar skills!

 

HH 205 – Relaxation and Stress Reduction 

According to the course description, the class will teach “theory in stress physiology and stress management, techniques of progressive relaxation, mental rehearsal, and imagery training.” With the stresses that come with daily college life, a whole class about relaxing and chilling out sounds amazing. 

ENG 270 – Reading Video Games 

I’m going to be honest here. I had no idea you could read video games, but this class sounds fascinating regardless. Reading classic novels seems a little dull when you could be analyzing Super Mario Bros. 

HTM 400 – Wine Appreciation

For all you 21 and over collegiettes, you could get credit for all of your Wine Wednesday exploits. This class has to do with all aspects of wine from the history, health benefits, business aspects and more. The best part is getting to wine taste in class!

HUM 390 – Images of Eroticism 

Probably not for the sexually reserved, this class discusses the way human sexuality, both acceptable and taboo, are expressed in art and literature. If you are interested in the development of sexuality, this class is sure to be exciting. 

RPT 163 – Beginning Rock Climbing

Looking for a class that beyond the lecture hall, beginning rock climbing might be the perfect way to fulfill your need for excitement while getting incredible arm muscles.
