Don't get me wrong, I think you make some excellent points and I generally agree.

I'm just wondering that if that curriculum were offered, would your target audience even know to enroll?

Do the people who would enjoy those courses know when they're starting out that it will be fun and useful for them? Or is that something you have to find out for yourself, through your own experimentation?

I think there'd be enough buzz for it. Students chat about classes incessantly, and they gravitate towards classes they find meaningful. I think professors can pretty easily pick out who would be most suited, too, and give them a helpful nudge in the right direction.

it would also tend to probably attract those profs/instructors that are more "aware" of what's out there. they (typically) tend to be the better instructors as well.
