TOP 12 BIZARRE COLLEGE COURSES
Do you know what your undergrad is learning? The Young America’s Foundation gives parents a helpful guide with its “Dirty Dozen” list of weirdest courses in America’s institutions of higher (sic) learning, including:
* Occidental College’s “The Unbearable Whiteness of Barbie: Race and Popular Culture in the United States,” in which students explore ways in which “scientific racism has been put to use in the making of Barbie.”
* Occidental College also offers a course in Stupidity, which compares the American presidency to Beavis and Butthead.
* Johns Hopkins’ “rock ‘n’ roll” class about ancient Egypt offered a slide show of Egyptian women “vomiting on each other.”
* Alfred University’s Nip, Tuck, Perm, Pierce, and Tattoo: Adventures with Embodied Culture, mostly made up of women, encourages students to think about the meaning behind “teeth whitening, tanning, shaving, and hair dyeing.” Special projects include visiting a tattoo-and-piercing studio and watching Arnold Schwarzenegger’s bodybuilding film, Pumping Iron.
The rest of the best, er worse, here.
