Not knowing anything about that college will just have to take your word for it.

Experimental College
The college’s “Experimental College” or ExCo program, a student-run department, allows any student or interested person to teach their own class for a limited amount of college credit. ExCo classes by definition focus on material not covered by existing departments or faculty.

Many courses supplement conventional disciplines, from languages and areas of cinema or literature, to musical ensembles like Steel Drums and Javanese gamelan, martial arts and forms of dancing. Other ExCos cover an array of topics, in the past ranging from Aquariums[40] to Wilderness Skills[41] to Hacky Sack to philosophical discussions of Calvin and Hobbes. Due to the nature of ExCo, while some staple courses are continued for years, the overall number and selection of classes offered varies dramatically from semester to semester. For example, ‘Contracts and Social Order’ was taught for only the Spring and Fall semesters in 2005 by an off-campus non-affiliated sociologist.
