We all know how stressful it can be picking classes. Who hasn’t spent hours glued to their computer screen browsing class after class on MyZou? It can be hard to pick the right one. Sometimes we forget that classes can be fun because most of the time we’re forced to take classes that meet our major’s specific requirements. But what about all of those electives? Most majors make students take a certain number of electives, whether in behavioral sciences, social sciences, humanities or even fine arts. With such a wide array of choices, how do you know what to take? MyZou can seem like a bottomless pit of possibilities. Don’t stress, collegiettes!™ Instead take these fun and useful classes into consideration.
