Finally there may be a college course the class clown can even appreciate.

Actually the degree is in comedic arts and will be grounded in the history and theory of comedy with practical learning and a focus on preparing students for careers in comedy performance, writing and production.

I think it’s great that college students who have been accused by people like Seinfeld, Chris Rock and even on a local level, comedian Jay Black ,of being too politically correct, will actually learn to look at the world in a funny way.

President Lee Pelton says “the new major will combine an academic focus with hands-on opportunities.” Hopefully the course will be taught by people who have actually mastered the art of being funny, perhaps Emreson can get some of their alumni like  Jay Leno, Denis Leary, Steven Wright and producer Norman Lear.

If you can do half as well as they did after earning your comedy degree, the price of college will be worth it
