Recently Rutger’s University announced a new course for the coming year that’s all about Beyoncé. Imagine if this was the norm, if you could major in any subject you wanted to. This got me reflecting on what unusual classes, or majors, I wish existed at Kenyon. Here are a few ideas to spark the imagination:

  • Pizza Major: Comparative pepperoni analysis and crust through the ages are vital classes for this major. Plus, this is likely to be the undergraduate degree that Ellen would pursue, if she were to go back to school.
  • Cuddling Major: This degree would entail all the best of contact improv and what you normally do in class (sleep). This major focuses on a lot of group projects. Classes include Cuddling 224-Special Topic: Spooning.

 

  • Tree Climbing Major: I’m going to go out on a limb here, and say that a Tree Climbing degree is the perfect combination of Phys Ed and biology (/dendrology). This major is for the flexible, outdoors type and those who like to just “hang out”. Okay, I’ll leaf now.
  • Spy School Major: If you grew up watching Spy Kids this is the major for you. Release your inner Bond, James Bond, with a degree where classes on assumed identity and a lock-picking workshop are prereqs.
  • Facebook Major: We know that browsing Facebook what you’re doing when you’re suppose to be doing your homework. How will you procrastinate when Facebook is your homework? Perfect your Facebook stalking skills and increase the likes on all of your posts with your BA degree specializing in Facebook.

Now we ask you: What would you major in if you could have any degree (and still get a job?)

Ally Bruschi is a senior political science major at Kenyon College. She spent this past summer interning as a writer with both The Daily Meal, a digital media group  dedicated to "all things food and drink" and The Borgen Project, a non-profit organization that partners with U.S. policymakers to alleviate global poverty. Before entering the "real world" of jobs, however, Ally spent many summers as a counselor at an all-girls summer camp in Vermont, aka the most wonderful place on earth. A good book, a jar of peanut butter, a well-crafted Spotify playlist, and a lazy dog could get her through even the worst of days.
