Indiana University is offering its students a very current course. The subject? Reality tv. Sooner or later, every social or business phenomenon becomes the subject of its own academic course. A while ago, we reported that Southern Methodist University’s was adding dedicated gaming classes to its roster. Now the same is happening for one of our era’s other great inventions: Reality TV. Indiana University is offering its students “The (Sur)Real World of Reality TV”. The course covers historical, legal, ethical, psychological, sociological and economic perspectives. If you’re in education, then following trends and dedicating classes to them will not only help you attract ‘in the know’ students, it will also get you good PR!
