8 college classes that probably never would have been offered a decade ago

College students in the US are starting to peruse their fall course catalogs as the summer comes to an end, and chances are they'll be able to take classes their parents never would have dreamed of when they were in school.

We've picked out 10 of the more interesting courses offered recently, which probably never would have appeared on college campuses a decade ago.
