It's back to school season in many places. B5 also is gearing up for a new school year. From the Registrar's Office in Za'Ha'Dum Hall (motto, "we are a necessary institutional evil"), we bring you: BABYLON 5 CONTINUING EDUCATION COURSES Instructor Course Morden Networking -- How to win with friends and influence people.

Stimulating lectures with labs give the student a hands-on appreciation of the issues. Field trips to Medlab and Down Below. Kosh Philosophy -- Course description: "Efficient."
