you take classes in different studies to educate yourself and to make your college look good (even an arts school is probably gonna want you to know how to do math) - this accomplishes neither

"Honors Manga, Anime, & Gender: Cross Cultural Texts & Communication
COM 3930H / LIT 3930H, Class Number: 18480 / 18479, Akita / Jones
TR 3:00—4:15 PM, BHC 0126
This seminar will examine contemporary Japanese magna (graphic novels) and amine (animated TV and film), combining intercultural literacy and communication and critical literary and textual analysis. The course will take as its primary focus the message construction of gendered norms (and the critique of those norms) in various genres of contemporary magna and anime, considering not just what these constructions mean within their Japanese context but also what happens when they are translated for American audiences. All tests will be in English translation or subtitled."
