# One-Unit Wonders and Terrific Twos

**Source**: https://advising.stanford.edu/current-students/choosing-courses/wonders

There are many courses at Stanford that are only one or two units (representing approximately 3-6 hours of work per week). These courses include “introduction to the field” courses, speaker-series courses, and activity courses. They offer a unique way to explore an area of interest and round out your schedule with an extra unit or two!
