"Out" your "kooky" college courses here
I'll start: Go to Arizona State University for courses on 1) How to build a time machine and 2) Seeking evidence for a second genesis on earth, University of Arizona, LAPLACE Astrobiology, 12.30 pm, room N505, Steward Observatory http://cosmos.asu.edu/events.htm
Please give the web address to support your claim--we don't want any mudslinging here. Mostly list the kind of classes that make you shake your head in disbelief that an institution of higher learning would offer space for utter nonsense. Courses that explain the problem with the youth today.

I wonder if this will spread to the U.S, Australia, Cyprus and elsewhere.

I dont have anything real bad but am frustrated with classes that I need to take that do not get proper recognition for. An example is EQPT 401 at SIAST. It is 18 hours of chainsaw traing but is not up to industry standards so it does s**t all to help me get a job when I get my Diploma. Same thing for FORE 402 which is a scaling class, longer than the provincal Scaling certification program but no certificate

When I was in college black and womens studies programs were still considered by many to be kooky and questionable. (Probably still are in some circles).
I did remember at one time joking about setting up The Institute for Elvis Studies, but someone beat me to it: AHEM, WE WILL NOW BEGIN TODAY'S LECTURE ON ELVIS MICHAEL KELLEY, SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE 17 August 1998 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "At the Fourth Annual International Conference on Elvis, the crowds were considerably thinner since the event's splashy debut in 1995. About 10 people were in the room midway through the conference while Michael Cole, a recent graduate of Rutgers University-Newark who majored in Elvis Studies, and his wife, psychiatric hospital therapist Ann Milano-Cole, were examining the question of whether Elvis's substance abuse problems were inevitable."

How about "American Studies"?
Does your school have an American Studies Department?
