The Wildest College Courses You Can Actually Take (and Yes, Astrology for Business Is One of Them)

Think college is all textbooks and late-night study sessions? Think again.

In today’s episode, The Jubal Show dives into the jaw-dropping (and very real) college courses that are making headlines—and making some people question the future of education entirely. From Ivy League institutions to community colleges, schools across the country are offering increasingly bizarre classes that range from oddly practical to totally unhinged.

Here’s what’s trending:

📚 Adulting 101 is now an actual college class. Universities nationwide are offering courses that teach Gen Z students basic life skills like how to do laundry, cook, sew, and even change a tire. Supporters say it's long overdue and fills a critical education gap. Critics? They say it’s what YouTube is for.

🎓 Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus are getting the academic treatment. Harvard now offers Taylor Swift and Her World, a class focused on the singer’s cultural impact, while Skidmore College once offered The Sociology of Miley Cyrus, analyzing her transformation from Disney star to pop provocateur.

📺 Arguing With Judge Judy is now a college-level logic class. Students at UC Berkeley have been known to take this one. The syllabus? Analyzing episodes of the iconic court show to learn reasoning and rhetoric.

👗 And Princeton offers “Getting Dressed,” a class that treats fashion as a philosophical pursuit. Yes, really. It's about how clothing choices influence identity, power dynamics, and self-perception.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I'm doing this for a living. I went to college
to do this, not really. I finished college in three years.
A lot of people say that's hard to do, but
all those people have degrees. Yeah. I mean, they're like,
how'd you finish so quickly? And I go just said
I'm finished and then I left like nobody's gonna stop me.
I went to a community college because I'm not very smart.
The hardest thing to do to community college is cheat

(00:21):
on a test, because the only people you can cheat
off of also go to a community college. I was like,
what did you get from a three? The guy's like, true,
what did you get? I go Finland, whom one of
us is gonna get this wrong. I lost my virginity
in college, which is kind of late for some people.

(00:42):
The girl was like very experienced. She was a chatterbox.
She's wanted me to talk dirty to her. She goes, Tommy,
tell me what you're thinking. So I smacked her on
the button. I was like, I can't wait to tell
my friends about this.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Show.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
And if you weren't worried enough about the future, colleges
all over the country have started offering one course that
is actually making international headlines today. Because of how ridiculous
people think it is great. I want to tell you
what it is and you can decide if you like
it and you think it's a good idea, or if
you think that you should move out of the country.

(01:16):
Universities all over the country are now offering a class
called adult Adulting one oh one oh, so that gen
z can learn basic life skills. The adulting course will
touch on everything from financial literacy to how to do laundry.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Wow, actually, how to do laundry.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
I did meet quite a people who in college they
did not know how to do their own laundry, and
so it did take them a minute to wow. Exact
people will learn it is in college and they learn
it from their friends, so they find it.

Speaker 3 (01:44):
Classes offered will focus heavily on topics such as how
to change a tire, how to sew cook along with
related skills like career readiness and interview preparedness.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
Oh.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
I'm kind of here for this because the parents that
should have taught their children to all of this are
most likely paying the toy. So this is your faults
and now you can pay extra for the class that
will finally teach your child.

Speaker 4 (02:06):
But they need to know, how do you not know
how to do laundry? Time out?

Speaker 6 (02:10):
No one's paying tuition anymore, that's all loans. Do you
think gen X has the money to pay for gen
Z's tuition? Hell no. They should have learned this in
high school and they didn't, So now they're gonna go.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Put it in colleges.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:25):
And by the way, college is a scam for most
people anyway. This just further proofs, like we're just going
to charge you thirty thousand dollars to teach you how
to change your tire YouTube baby, you know on that YouTube.

Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, there was a class in my high school that
taught you how to change it, and like all these
kinds of things.

Speaker 5 (02:41):
We don't have homeac but we had like auto shop.
Actually it was a class, but you had to take it,
and that wasn't I mean, you didn't have to.

Speaker 4 (02:47):
It's like a choice. I think that.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
They should have adulting classes, but maybe not in college.
Maybe they should be mandatory in high school.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
Yeah, yeah, sixteen, you should know most of the things
you just listed.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Colleges all over the country are adding adulting one oh one.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
It's fail safe. It's like one last chance to get.

Speaker 6 (03:04):
You to get more money from the students.

Speaker 5 (03:06):
The information you need to go out into the world,
and yes, get more money, but if you're paying for that,
you're the dummy that needed it.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Also, along with that class, there are a bunch of
other classes that colleges offer that they're making headlines too.
You might have heard of this one, but the Taylor
Swift and Her World class that's at Harvard University.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
I think that'd be a really craving.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Well, it's not about just Taylor Swift, like think of
like her whole business Mossman, how she's like grown into
this like empire Brad just saying.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
But it's also at Harvard, so you know you have
some psychological experts, psychological psychology experts that are like really
understanding how people are attached to.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
This, you know what I mean.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
And you know she's getting a cut because you can't
even mention Taylor Swift.

Speaker 3 (03:53):
She had to approve the course Literature get more college
wherever that is, they teach a course called the Sociology
of Miley Cyrus.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Is Miley Cyrus's career. That would be a cool I
don't think I'm really that worried about that one, But
I didn't take the Miley Cyrus cord.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
To think about it, She's been through all of all
the phases of every mood and vibe.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
You could ever have a follower on social media. I
think that does it for me.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
Hey Logan, yeah, Hey, did you take a weird force
in college? Yes?

Speaker 4 (04:25):
What was that? That may sound weird? Astrology for business.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
And I am telling you, my god, if you have.

Speaker 4 (04:32):
The chance, you have to take it. You have to
take it. Can you take it now? Aggressive? The astrology
for your business?

Speaker 5 (04:42):
Yes, it's the aggressive manifestation of it.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Change my business, like I mean, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (04:48):
It's just remarkable.

Speaker 5 (04:50):
I could see different times of the year that would
support different efforts a little bit more.

Speaker 4 (04:55):
Are you just manifesting your business the entire not just.

Speaker 5 (04:58):
Because of that, but because of the energies and stuff
that would support the moves that you make in your business.
And manifesting is powerful to class, I'm into it called
arguing with Judge Judy. Focus is on logic and reasoning
by analyzing Judge Judy episodes.

Speaker 4 (05:15):
That's amazing.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
That's fun.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Have your class you get to watch TV. Yeah, it's great.

Speaker 6 (05:19):
We have to trick people into the learning right, Hey man,
I don't think it's tricking.

Speaker 4 (05:23):
I think it's finding useful ways to have it stick.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
I didn't go to college, but I pretty much took
the arguing with Judge Judy course because I was in
school all the time in high school and just go
home and watch Judge Judy.

Speaker 4 (05:33):
Yeah, do you feel like you argue? Well, yes, I do.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
Actually, Princeton University has a getting dressed course.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (05:42):
The class explores the act of dressing as an intellectual pursuit.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
I feel like I've only just started dressing better, so honestly,
it just took me a while.

Speaker 5 (05:50):
But I think it's an Ivy League school, and does
it talk about colors, like, does it talk about different
totters and styles and how it would trigger people to
do that you want them to.

Speaker 3 (06:00):
It's a Princeton, it is an Ivy League school, so
it's probably just getting dressed and looking in the mirror
and going I'm better than Look at.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Me, Look at everything I put on looks better than
all of the idiots around me. Look it's a dirty
T shirt, still looks better than everybody else.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
I'm rich,
