Surprising Things You Can Get A College Degree In

Daniel Dominguez

There are two kinds of college students, for the most part. Student getting degrees in law or business to make their parents happy, and kids getting degrees in English or improvised dance who will end up sleeping on the couches of the students who got degrees in business. However, a relatively small number of students will end up with some very strange, very specialized degrees. Degrees such as...

 

Nanotechnology

Getting a degree in building invisible robots is pretty freaking rad. Just don't ever break up with someone who's getting a degree in nanotechnology, unless you want to worry every time you get a nosebleed that they've filled you with nanobots to get revenge.

 

Aromatherapy

An aromatherapist changes people's mood with by mixing a cocktail of scents. By combining lilac with lavender and aromatherapist can make an anxious person calm, or a sad person cheer up. Evil aromatherapists, though, are very dangerous, as they can mix a combination of scents that when smelled sends a person into a killing frenzy. Most aromatherapists are not evil though, according to a survey of aromatherapists by Harpers Weekly.

 

Enigmatology

The study of design and creation of puzzles. Enigmatology students are obsessed with constructing ever more complicated mind games. In other words, do not invite them to frat parties. 

 

Gerontology

A degree in studying old people. So far what have students of Gerontology learned about the elderly? They get tired easily, and if you change the channel while Jeopardy is on they'll throw things at you.

 

Packaging

Exactly what it sounds like. College kids getting a degree in packaging are learning how to... package... stuff. When you get these students in your elective courses like English of the Middle Ages, they ask questions like, "As a King, did Beowulf ever have to deal with what boxes to put things in? And if so, did he prefer scotch tape, or the more expensive, but in the long run more effective, masking tape?"

 

Sports Ministry

A degree in using football and other sports to teach kids about religion. Nothing teaches kids about the forgiveness, compassion, and cooperation that Jesus preached like dividing them into teams and having them fight over who gets a ball.

 

All-Female Robot-Dog Army Brigade Commander

Offered at only a few select colleges, only seven people have graduated with this degree meant on teach students how to build and command an army of all-female robot canines. Each year, all seven of them meet on the field of battle with their respective armies in tow. The Commander with dogs still standing at the end of the vicious battle becomes President of Canada until they meet again.
