Get a degree in Jedi

The UK's first Jedi course teaching personal development through a Star Wars syllabus will open to students at Queen's University in Belfast from November.

According to its publicity material, the course, Feel the Force: How to Train in the Jedi Way, teaches the real-life psychological techniques behind Jedi mind tricks.

It also claims to examine the wider issues behind the Star Wars universe, like balance, destiny, dualism, fatherhood and fascism.

The university says it hopes to attract young Star Wars fans and introduce them to education through open learning.

No prior qualifications are required and the blurb informs students that light sabres are not provided.

Wow...now I have a choice...I can either take the Star Trek course at the University of Washington or go to Belfast to learn to be a Jedi! Hmm...well I DO have friends in Belfast who've said I could stay with them if I ever visited......

It's called Star Trek 101 and several Colleges/Universities have it.

Depending on the state they are all different: University of Washington has a tech course (and incidentally some students actually invented a working tricorder!), Illinois has an anthropology course, Georgetown is a Philosophy course, Princeton and Indiana University offers a course on the religious aspect of Star Trek.

Altho the University of Wisconson has an even more interesting one. A course analyzing Soap operas! :lol: Or you can go to NYU and take a course in Anime.

And doing more research I've found a language course at Lake Tahoe Community College that focuses on the languages of Star Wars, Star Trek, LOTR, and others. I should take that course! It would be super easy since I already know Klingon, Ewok, and a bit of Vulcan and Romulan. :D

Meh, Jedis are too uptight. I'd rather learn how to be a third technician on a mining ship.

Probably only one other Dromer is going to know what the hell I'm talking about.
