At my college, they have a "scholars" program. Each semester they choose a different topic to discuss in the class.

This semester, the topic is "the presidency"...

However, next semester it is DISNEY!! :sohappy:

I was so excited when I found this out! For an hour each week, I get to sit in a classroom and learn about Disney....

Finally some tuition money being put to good use!

Just wanted to share this news with people who I knew would understand my excitement....while my fellow classmates that I've talked to about it are excited...I am ecstatic! :sohappy:

Course Description

I almost forgot! Here is the course description:

SCHOL 301 A- Lycoming Scholar Seminar: Disney
The seminar will examine several facets of Disney films including their literary source, moral messages, different animation techniques and music. We will also examine the Disney Corporation's effectiveness in communication techniques, their impact on the education system, and some legal issues surrounding the company.

:sohappy: :D :sohappy:

COOL!!!!! If they did this more often and offered more credits for a "Disney" class, the college dropout rate would go WAY down! I'd have taken it!!!

Wish my school would offer a cool class like that. I would take it in a heartbeat! Here I thought History of Rock and Roll was a cool class.

BTW, where do you go to school?

I attended the first class today....WOW! it was so interesting. A professor visiting from the University of Massachusettes discussed inconsistencies between Grimm's and Disney's fairy tales.

The three examples were Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Little Mermaid. She read text for each one and then showed film clips.

It was so interesting! Finally, a good use to my tuition money! :hammer:
