Disney College

My apologies if this isn't the right part of the forum to post this.
But has anyone else ever thought (if it isn't already a thing), how cool it would be to go and learn the ins and outs about all the disney characters and movies. Learn the back story behind all them.
Like a bachelor in disney characters or something haha.
I have always thought that would be pretty cool, not that it would be benefit me much in life

The real question is: How much would this degree cost, would your parents pay for it and would anybody then be surprised and disappointed if you were unable to get a well-paying job in your field after graduation...

 

[Hunkules101]

These are all very true haha. If your parents really loved you they would pay for it haha

No. If your parents really love you and care about you, they wouldn't. Disney College would seriously come under the heading of " something to do in your spare time once you have finished your education and can be self supporting".

But if there was such a thing, I would definitely sign up for a few distance learning classes.

Haha i know i was only being silly.
Yeah i reckon it would be good fun

A year ago I was evaluating a students transcript from University of Alaska (?) and it listed History of Disney. Student said that it was a great class.

It wouldn't make a good degree, but if it were offered on Coursera I'd be the first one signed up!

haha yeah it probably would't and would't be all that useful but like you said if it were existent haha, would be brilliant.

There are college-level courses on all sorts of pop-culture subjects, including Walt Disney and the history of the Walt Disney Company. Researchers probably have access to the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco.

Here's a class description at some small college.

This one is little bit more complicated:

Of course there's the Disney College Program.

I would think that CalArts has had some classes on Disney. Heck - Walt essentially created the place, although it was from a merger of two different schools.

Haha well i want to do this class. When i have the money of course
