Before you guys make too much fun of these programs some graduates do very well and make a lot more than those of us in more mainstream programs. They also have great job satisfaction.

I'm not arguing that point, it's just that when you think of a university program a certain 'stereotype' comes to mind. I don't think there's anything wrong with the Turfgrass program my boyfriend is going through, he's going to make decent money when he graduates and have a job he loves. I'm just surprised it's offered at the university level considering how hands on and basic the course is-I would have expected it to be a college course

"6. Queer Musicology

In the list of musicology courses available at UCLA, you'll find one listed simply as "queer". The graduate course is considered to be dated from the 1990's and is used to to teach how music may actually sound different based on sexual preference, both of the composer and of the listener. Much of the class is based on concepts from a 1994 book entitled "Queering the Pitch: the gay and lesbian musicology" by Phillip Brett, which evolved from a paper he had written back in the 70's called "Benjamin Britten's music in terms of gay identity".

It's true it's a diploma program offered through the university as opposed to a degree program. I probably should have clarified that earlier. Most Turfgrass programs though are offered through colleges (I know a few people going through at the college level), and this is the only program like it I've heard of that is offered through the university. It's a condensed two year program-he has to take six to seven classes a semester to graduate after two years, so many people stretch it out to three in the program. And they do have a few classes that I would personally categorize as 'university level'. In his first year he had a plant biology course that was actually somewhat challenging for him. The rest of the courses seem like 'college courses' though. In his one class he just went on hikes and looked at golf courses, in another he went on road trips to different courses, in another he had to successfully grow different various grasses under different conditions. He didn't have exams during the exam period (or midterms), just a few in class tests. The class sizes are all 30-40 students, and the 'profs' really get to know the students. There's a few assignments that everyone is always late on and the profs don't care and don't take off late marks. It's just puzzling that the university offers a program like that-the pre-reqs are similar to many university degree programs-he needed certain university level highschool courses and certain grades, and yet his program is nothing like any other program the university offers.

Most programs like this that I've heard of are done in conjunction with a college, not administered entirely through the university.

He has so much free time during the school year-he never has to pick up a book or study, he only goes to school three days a week, and the few assignments he has to do are a joke-for instance one of his major assignments in his communications class was to write an informal essay on his dream job. He wrote some short, goofy thing about wanting to pilot a starship and got 95% on it. And yet he's quite proud of the fact that he's a University of Guelph student. It just doesn't seem like a program that belongs at a university thats all-and it can be frustrating because he thinks that because his program is like that, that I'm just overexaggerating the difficulty of my program now.

Sports management is a pretty popular program. It's actually a program in some universities.

It's basically a business program tailored to the sports world.

If there's only one university that offers it, it would be Waterloo.

I know for sure there's a nanotechnology option within EngSci at U of T. But yeah, Waterloo may be the only one with the degree name.
