UPEI introduces new degree of great fictional ideas

UPEI— UPEI has opened up registration for its latest major, great fictional ideas. Students in the program will learn about the greatest ideas to have taken place in a purely fictional environment.

“Good morning students!” said Dr. John Keating, “What are you doing? Why are you sitting at your desks!? Up! Up on your desks! SEIZE THE DAY!” before starting the “lecture” for Carpe Diem 102, Intro to Dead Poets Society.

The degree features courses such as the GFI 203 the Inclusive Castle, overcoming racism in Middle-Earth; GFI 405 Defence Against the Dark Arts; GFI 401 Political Sciences of Barn Yard Animals and GFI 302/History 302 Scottish Monarchs from Duncan to Malcolm.

Students in this program will not be assessed in traditional manners such as a percentage based score, or letter grades or even pass/fail. Students will receive their degree after being assessed on their capacity to be, finally receiving their degree once they realize that it is a meaningless paper and that it is the finer things in life that matter, like the sun glimmering off stones, or the way that your cat communicates with you with its eyes and soul.

“We encourage all students to take GFI 223 Potions with Snape,” said Dr. Took “’cause when you find out how much money you’ve spent on a degree in great fictional ideas, you’ll want to mix up a potion or two for yourself.”

The courses will focus on popular fictional characters, such as Frodo Baggins, Matilda, Lady Macbeth, Robin Williams in nearly every movie he appears in and Nobel Peace Prize recipient Barack Obama.

Many students were baffled by the announcement, many believing that UPEI already had a religious studies degree.
