Courses on wizardry allegories in Harry Potter and political strategy as illustrated in ‘Game of Thrones’ are just a few of the courses available in the University of California – Berkeley’s “Democratic Education at Cal” program. The noncredit initiative, which encourages student innovation in teaching and learning on important topics, enrolls more than 8,000 students annually in 200 courses throughout the university. Students say the courses offer a productive opportunity to relieve stress, to expand personal networks and to gather new perspectives on culture and society.
