The higher Education bubble

You have to wonder what colleges and universities are thinking when they offer some courses. From the Michigan State University Summer 2012 Catalog:
SW290: Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse: Catastrophes & Human Behavior
Zombies are a popular metaphor for apocalypse both in popular culture and mainstream academic pursuits, even being used by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for teaching emergency preparedness. This course uses current research and science on Catastrophes and Human Behavior together with the idea of a Zombie Apocalypse to learn about the nature, scope, and impact of catastrophic events on individuals, families, societies, civilizations, and the Earth itself.
It sounds like a fun class but if I was spending my money, I would focus on something a bit more practical in the working world. Just call me a bitter clinger... Posted by DaveH at March 25, 2012 11:54 AM
