I once briefly pursued an advanced interdisciplinary degree. With the benefit of hindsight, I’d say that, generally, pursuing an advanced interdisciplinary degree—in particular, taking out a student loan to pursue an interdisciplinary degree—is prima facie evidence that your thinking is irrational.
All admitted students will be awarded tuition wavers and living wages. A compelling ROI calculation was a requirement for admission, and all students have demonstrated some real-world badass achievements.
Fair enough! So, in the spirit of things, I would start with Psychology courses that demonstrate just how irrational and unreasonable human minds are, not only as the result of pathology or brain damage, but just in the normal course of life. Nothing new or unfamiliar to anybody who has read the sequences.
Separately, I’d suggest these high-achieving students be allowed to test out of any required courses in the program, to avoid redundancy and save time.

Which classes are worthy of such a potent batch?

And psychology courses would include stuff on perception and how it can be tricked, such as optical illusions.
