Class registration is happening right now and New Mexico State University offers a lot of fun classes that you can take to fulfill your credit hours or just to add a fun class to your schedule. Below I have listed some interesting classes to make your student schedule more fun.
HRTM 414: Wine Appreciation
Surprise your dinner party with your wine tasting vocabulary and knowledge of wine through Wine Appreciation. This class examines wine through lectures, tastings of wine paired with food and guest speakers. If you are 21 years or older and are interested in evaluating wines and diving deeper into how wine is created and what goes into fully appreciating wine, you can register for this class after getting the consent of the instructor. This class is three credits.
PHED 1410: Yoga
Take a step back from your stresses — breathe and start your day with yoga. This class practices different styles of yoga inside and outside expanding on the meaning behind each pose and technique. You can develop a better understanding of how to calm the mind with breathing exercises as well as body movements. There are minimal assignments in this class that are just reflections of your physical and mental practice. This class is one credit and may be repeated up to six credits.
SIGN 1110: American Sign Language I
This introductory-level language course introduces you to American Sign Language (ASL) vocabulary, conversation skills, expressive skills, and the examination of deaf-culture. Developing ASL is a valuable skill that allows you to communicate with the deaf community. This class is fun and challenging as you make connections with vocabulary and signing.
EPWS 325V: Insects, Humans, and the Environment
Bees, ants and flies oh my! Insects impact many aspects of life and things you probably wouldn’t even think of. They impact the economy, crime, crops, disease, and more. This class examines the biology and behavior of insects, as well as their impact on our food, movies, art and even weapons. Rumor is, if you get a tattoo of a bug in this class, you’ll get a lot of extra credit. This class is three credits.

This class is one credit and may be repeated up to two credits.
DANC 1185: Beginning Country Western Dance
If ballet is not for you, maybe country western two-step dancing along with line dancing is. This course will help you gain a deeper understanding of the elements of dance techniques. Develop your own style as you become more aware of rhythmic accuracy and understand the process of creating original combinations. This class is one credit and may be repeated up to two credits.
