Class registration can be completely overwhelming, to say the least. Trying to meet with your advisor, schedule classes so they don’t overlap, and meet every requirement to graduate on time can give even the brightest student a headache. In order to ease the process, Her Campus discovered fun and nontraditional classes hidden in the MyZou catalogue.
