I was poking around Excelsior's catalog and I found ENG315 Zombies in Literature and Popular Culture. https://www.excelsior.edu/course/ENG315/ I thought it looked interesting and possibly fun for an upper-level course.

What's the most interesting non-elective course you've seen?

I love that it's a relevant and required class for physics students.

I think I used to have the book with the same title, once upon a time.

I smell things with my nose. I feel sorry for people who try to use their ears or elbows.

Perhaps it's more complicated in the Ivy League but at Princeton you can take a Freshman Seminar in . . . getting dressed

Along the same lines, here's a list of "weird" college majors.  Some are actually fairly normal and common but a few are a bit strange

I took Philosophy with Super Heros and it counted as both a creative writing credit for the masters in creative writing and literature degree and as a philosophy credit for the certificate in ethics and philosophy at Harvard Extension. If taken as an undergraduate, it had a 3rd requirement it could be counted toward, but I don't recall what that was since it didn't apply to my situation
