Japan Academia Dumbing Down?!
Japan has about 500 private institutions. About 225 of those schools have enrollment that is less than full capacity.

That means, the schools are not making as money as they could.

Answer...create more courses -

1. The Department of Manga (Comics) - actually this course has been offered for more than 30 years at a university in Kyoto. However, only 10-20 of the grads have gone on to a career as a professional artist. Only 10-20? In 30 years!?tokyo university.jpg

2. A degree in Future Design - Denen Gakuen

3. Life Pathology Studies - the study of love relationships

4. Media Systems - how people communicate via their cell phones - I could teach that course in 10 words.

5. Faculty of city life - abt fulfillment in urban living

6. Faculty of environmental disaster prevention - how to stop an earthquake?

7. Faculty of Healthy Produce - giving your cabbage an aerobic lesson

8. Faculty of Hospitality Tourism - how to take care of guests who you send away on a trip

9. Faculty of Wellness Tourism - I have no idea what this is

10. Facult of Canned Food Packaging - The jolly green giant teaches this class, except he is smaller and yellow.

I guess American universities are not the only institutions that can come up with stupid ideas for courses, just to get students in the seats.

What do you think?
