Gif And Meme Studies

You might think we’re making this one up but we’re not. One college in America has begun to allow students to study gifs and memes. While you might think this is a complete waste of time, don’t be so sure. A lot of businesses now use these little media types for marketing purposes. So, if you know your way around them, you could prove a vital source for any commercial business.

Abnormal Psych

It sounds a little like X-men or The X-Files and unfortunately it’s neither.

You’ll be able to diagnose the problems and work to treat them.

Geospatial Intelligence

Finally, this might sound like a weird throwaway degree, but it’s one of the crucial resources in the world today. Geospatial intelligence is about understanding geographic data and how it can impact things like threats of terrorism. It will lead to some astounding, exciting career opportunities.
