These are classes in a variety of fun, highly specific, even esoteric subjects. Among “Beyond the Basics” courses at KSU are a class studying Harry Potter, a class in studying hurricanes, a cookie-making class, a course in ringtones and a tree-climbing class.
However, while KSU’s options are abundant, the classes remains small and personalized, giving students maximum one-on-one attention.
