Unique College Degrees
Posted by Jen Zeman on November 3rd, 2008
It’s general knowledge that a MBA or a bachelor of science in nursing are admirable and trustworthy degrees that have stood the test of time, but what if are interested in something outside of mainstream? There are many colleges and institutions that offer creative degree programs, but I found these degree programs to be most unique (http://www.bspcn.com/2007/10/19/top-10-most-unusual-college-degrees/):
- Master Ranching offered at Texas A&M-Kingsville
- Astrobiology offered at the University of Glamorgan in the UK
- Retail Floristry offered at Mississippi State University
- Professional Nanny offered at Sullivan University
- Sports Ministry offered at Campbellsville University
- Adventure Recreation offered at Green Mountain College
- Golf & Sports Turf Management offered at Mississippi State University
- Comedy: Writing and Performance offered at Humber College in Canada
- Organic Agriculture offered at Washington State University
- Fishing Sciences and Management offered at Colorado State University
So if you are looking for an educational experience beyond mainstream, take the time to do some research online. As you can see from the list above, if you have an interest in it, there is a good chance someone offers a degree in it. Just be certain that it is a career field you are passionate about before plunking down $25,000 - $50,000 for a degree that may not help you anywhere else!
