Rutgers is so crazy in love with Beyoncé Knowles, it’s offering a course on the famed diva.
Students at the New Brunswick campus are now enrolled in “Politicizing Beyoncé,” a class led by doctoral student and lecturer Kevin Allred in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies.

And college graduates wonder why they can't get jobs.

They can't pass classes like College Algebra and Physics and Economics so they have to create classes that student can pass and "earn" a degree.

There's one college where you can major in "The Beatles" for crying out loud.

A bachelors degree was never intended to be vocational.

Who is signing the degrees? The president of the Beyonce Fan Club?

We have the freedom in this country to waste our parents' money on worthless classes and useless degrees. It's okay, when all we can find afterward is a barely above minimum wage job, we'll just scream "income inequality" and vote for more wealth redistribution.

At least the OWS crowd will have one more thing to discuss around the homeless trash can fires in their future.

Accounting, Engineering, Finance are most definitely "vocational".

Liberal Arts is the "enrichment" path.

Hows about a PhD from the "School of Packaging" ?
What's their title..Dr. of Packaging ?

I kid you not here. MSU offers this BS, MS and PhD program.
