Coventry University in England offers a Master's Degree in Parapsychology (psychic abilities)
There are tons of bazaar degrees out there....and for someone just looking to put a check in a box on an application, some of these degree titles might be something fun to study...although I think it would be hard to be taken seriously as a business professional if my bachelors degree were in puppetry.
Where you get you degree can have a big influence on what is worth specializing in. Puppetry is becoming more popular in the north east as a way of reaching children especially those with severe physical or educational handicaps. That degree plus a Masters in some kind of therapy could land you a very lucrative job.
Pop Culture I have no idea why someone would study:confused:
Gunsmithing makes sense we have a large population group who are interested in guns.
Fermentation Science is a stinky but well researched way of creating some interesting enzymes. It is probably a limited area but lucrative.
Since I now live within spitting distance of the Canadian border I find our neighbors to the north very interesting. I also find I know very little of their history (such as they gained Independence without spilling blood). I wish I had at least a course in Canadian Studies. I am sure the average Canadian knows more about American history then 95% of Americans know of Canadian history.
Sexuality Studies Maybe because San Francisco has such a large diverse population of Gay/Lesbians/Bi's ?
North and South Carolina have many Paper Mills so Wood and Paper science makes sense there.
Parapsychology? Well we always knew the British were wierd.hilarious
