Most graduate programs are mainstream. You know -- stuff like business, math, or thermomolecular hydroponics. Fortunately, a few brave students take the road less traveled. Here are just a few examples of unusual forms of higher education (notice we didn't say "weird"). Arkansas State University offers baton wavers a master's degree in Music Conducting. The Santa Barbara Graduate Institute offers a Ph.D in somatic psychology. Several universities offer degrees in something called "Industrial Hygiene." Although its name reminds us of 6th-grade Health class, the program actually focuses on environmental
issues. Clemson and Michigan State University have programs in "packaging science." Who knew assembling boxes required a graduate degree? For those who long to study the romantic lives of farm animals, Mississippi State teaches animal husbandry. And if your dream is to be the next Stan Lee, you can go for a degree in comics. (Tougher than it sounds, we're sure.) So there ya have it -- if you can imagine it, odds are you can find a school to give you a degree in it. Whether it will lead to a job is another matter.
