Unique/quirky/cool/unusual graduation requirement

When I was at W&L in the 90s we had to pass a swim test and we needed FIVE PE credits. I’ve never heard of another school requiring that many.

I also like Furman’s event requirement. As a lazy undergrad I did attend some speakers but I can’t imagine how much more I could have learned had I been required to see more. I know the Furman kids grumble about the requirement a little but it’s one of those things I think you’d look back on and be grateful for.

ETA I just looked it up. They still require a swim test and 4 PE credits!
