not a major per se, but wasn't LSU the first school to offer classes on Jimmy Buffett?

State money shouldn't be paying for this. It doesn't matter if it can be highly lucrative. From Barry Seal's prospective, being a pilot was highly lucrative.

Letting a professor teach some cool classes they have interest in isn't quite the same as establishing an entire department.

I took a class on the Grateful Dead as an undergrad.

State money shouldn't be going towards half the crap offered at LSU also. I'm all about TOPS reform.

Being a musician is the same thing as being a drug runner.

What this all comes down to though is a disdain for the arts and traditional education. I guess universities should only offer training in the trades.

You don’t have to go to class or take tests? Just give them $160K? That’s not bad

Loyola was once a very elite school. It had a pharmacy school, a school of dentistry. It's physics program was one of the top in the country. WWL was founded as a physics dept lab project. They have had quite a few world renowed physicist on faculty.

In 2004 a new university President took over. This guy went full SJW and the university has been in decline ever since.

Reminds me of a friend who got a full ride to Tulane and got a drama degree.
He is a batista now with gauged ears, and lives in the Bywater.

I wish high schools honestly prepared people for the world.
Not just "follow your dreams".

WTF? I knew a guy who graduated from there with a BA in physics. Seriously. If you have the best BA in physics in the country you still have an ARTS degree in a Basic Science.

Yeah, and you can learn do all of it outside of a classroom. Paying money for shite you can learn on your own in an industry that doesn't suffer from credentialism is asinine.

The BA was in physics education. BS in physics is different.

North Alabama has a similar program - something like Entertainment Management and Production - and I've had a few friends go through it. Guess who still work in the business? The guys who were doing it before they event went to college. Everyone else is an insurance salesman or real estate agent.
