Physics for Future Presidents
University of California, BerkeleyCost: About $2,000
Enrollment: 295
Spy satellite positioning, nuclear arms, global warming—Berkeley students tackle these presidential problems and more from a scientific perspective in this course. By taking a peek at current events, undergrads learn the basics of energy, radioactivity, integrated circuitry, fusion, dark energy and (hopefully) some cred in Washington D.C. If you want to bypass the tuition (and academic credit), all of the lectures are available for free on Youtube.
