This fall, according to the New York Post, undergrads at New York University can jive in a course titled “Guitar Heroes,” which studies video games and human cognition. Others may prefer to enroll in a kickboxing course or study “TV poetics.”

The downside of the kickboxing course, remarks the professor offering it, is that it makes her “really sweaty.” But not to worry. What really counts is that ”it’s the most fun thing” she’s ever done at the university.

And for this parents shell out $50,000 a year?
