The education system in the United States of America certainly does NOT hold the exclusive license on lunacy... but were it an Olympic sport, they would be the odds-on favourite to take gold year-in and year-out. The Huffington Post recently put together a list of the ten most ridiculous college courses you can actually take at schools around the U-S. Check it out:
--At Santa Clara University, you can take a class called The Joy of Garbage, where you explore "the technical aspects of decomposition and waste processes."
--At Cornell University, you can take a class called Tree Climbing.
--At Georgetown University, you can take a class called Philosophy and "Star Trek".
--At UCLA, you can take a class called Queer Musicology, which explores pressing issues like "the possibility that being gay makes music by gay composers sound different to you than it would if you were straight."
--At Pitzer College in California, you can take a class called Learning from YouTube, which . . . shocker . . . consists of "students watching, discussing, and commenting on YouTube videos."
--At Stanford University, you can take a class called iPhone Application Programming. (--Actually, if you FOOLISHLY went to college to get a decent job afterwards, this class might not be such a lame idea.)
--At Alfred University in New York, you can take a class called Maple Syrup; The Real Thing.
--At Frostburg State University in Maryland, you can take a class called The Science of "Harry Potter".
--At Centre College in Kentucky, you can take a class called The Art of Walking.
--And at Reed College in Oregon, you can take a class called Underwater Basket Weaving... no... really...
Pick your major...OR you can just come right out and SAY "I'm just going to college for the wild frat parties..."
