We all know that some colleges have historically "created" curriculums designed for, well, the "student athletes." You know the ones; those are typically the majors that make you go "really? You can get a degree in that?" when flashed below a basketball player's name on TV.
But here's the thing: Apparently there are other people who actually want to take some of those quirky classes.
North Carolina magazine, in its October issue, has an article entitled, "Unique and Unusual Courses Abound," about the "dazzling array" of courses offered at N.C. schools of higher learning. They either sound really cool ... or really made-up.
Among the offerings?
Canadian Studies -- Duke University
Boating Skills and Seamanship -- East Carolina
Witchcraft and Magic in European History -- UNC-Greensboro
Legal Issues in Film and Entertainment Law -- UNC-Wilmington (naturally)
Presidential Rhetoric -- Wake Forest
White Collar Crime -- Wake Forest
Forensic Anthropology -- Western Carolina University
And the best of all? My alma mater, of course: The Dinosaurian World -- North Carolina State University.
Go Pack! Or, rather, Go T-Rex!

White Collar Crime at Wake Forest? Sounds about right.
"Seamanship?" Shouldn't that be a Peace College class? ;)
Smithers: "I think women and Seamen don't mix."
Burns: "We KNOW what you think."
Had John Bunting had a better record at Carolina, I heard his wife Dawn was thinking of starting up the witchcraft class at UNC, but alas, it was not to be...
James,
I also heard that John Bunting was going to teach a class at the Kenan-Flagler Business School called "Using the Waiver Wire: How to get the Most out of Your Potential Talent."
