I’m not sure I can answer from an EA perspective, but I’ll try to personally reflect on the most useful university courses I’ve taken:
-I took two postgraduate research methods courses (Quantitative Research Methods and Evaluating Public Policy). I am now much better at evaluating the claims made in social sciences papers, which I’m really happy about.
-My Christian theology courses helped develop my thinking about my faith, which I’ve found personally valuable.
-Sociology / Psychology courses have influenced some of my core beliefs (nature vs nurture; rewards vs punishment; etc), so in a sense I use this knowledge on a daily basis.
-Drama classes can be great for developing your communication skills, as well as your ability to put yourself in someone else’s shoes.
-I trained as a teacher, and my classroom management class was surprisingly transferable to an office setting. It really helped me think about how I can influence other people’s behaviour by choosing a meeting’s environment and agenda and through my own verbal and nonverbal communication.
