In college, I took a class called The Letters of Paul. I took it for two very good reasons:

1. I was (and am) named Paul.
2. The prof, Cal Roetzel, was (and is) cool.

I didn’t figure it was an especially practical course. It was for fun, for the challenge, for the cultural knowledge, for the pleasure of doing it.

Welp, that's a follow right there. I teach in our Uni's General Studies Program...possibly because I never sufficiently specialized. :) I've taught WWII in film and lit, American Conspiracy Theories, Science and Pseudoscience, the History of Alternative Medicine, business writing courses, and critical thinking seminars. All students are required to take "at some distance" courses that have nothing to do with their majors. Interdisciplinarity is the only way to fly.
