Straight to the unemployment lines-----Five of the most obscure college degrees in America

Five of the most obscure college degrees in America - The College Fix:

• "Puppet Arts – University of Connecticut

The University of Connecticut’s Fine Art Department has offered undergraduate and graduate degrees in puppet arts with classes dating back to 1964.
Since the creation of the program, students have put on nearly 500 productions with puppets and the school said “each year [they] see an increase in the number of people wishing to be part of our program.”
Students must take foundational courses in drama, such as costuming, lighting and scenery.
Once they progress through those classes, they move onto “puppetry production,” and elective like “marionette construction.”
Students who wish to apply must do so through the standard application process and audition for the school of fine arts, which includes a three to five minute presentation of skills and a portfolio.
Many who have graduated have gone on to “perform and design for many theatres around the world,” according to the degree’s website. 
“They appear in, build for and manage internationally recognized television programs… and films, write books, design toys, teach children, and direct prominent schools and museums.”"
