It was only a matter of time, wasn't it? They offer bullshit like Gender Studies degrees and African-American Studies degrees and all the useless crap that won't get you a job after you graduate. What's one more?

The University of Central Florida is offering a degree in Social Justice.

In their own words:

"The Social Justice in Public Service graduate certificate seeks to develop leaders who can influence policy to create social justice. Students will obtain a theoretical background in social justice, exploring topics such as human rights, income distribution and the role of markets. Students will understand factors that contribute to inequity among various groups, with a focus on providing a theoretical background and methods to analyze social justice issues in public service. They will understand principles of social justice as they apply to government and nonprofit sector in education, health, transportation, and housing policy domains among others."

This absolute waste of tuition is a 15 credit course filled with classes I never would have dreamed existed.

I might be an old-timer, but when I went to school, we took classes like "Algebra"; not "Urban Resilience". What even is that? Setting up Autonomous Zones?

More proof college is adult daycare.

Without question. It's another degree where the only viable job it can get you is teaching the subject.
