BANGALORE: The college experience is about first-time freedom, career exploration and the pursuit of knowledge, but today's students have the opportunity to take a host of bizarre classes that may not exactly lead down a career path.
From guerrilla activist to The Hunger Games, the students are embracing such degrees ditching traditional courses like engineering, law, medical and marketing. Don’t be surprised, these degrees are offered by real colleges even though the courses sound non-academic, as reported by Business Insider.
Guerrilla Altruism: A Mini-Manual Of Subversive Activism – Temple University
Guerilla altruism, an idea conceived by Tyler School of Art Assistant Professor Scott Shall that challenges young humanitarians to create unorthodox solutions to global problems. Influenced by the ideas of the Argentine guerilla leader Che Guevara and a diverse list of modern revolutionaries, the students are taught to face challenges as well as use the proven techniques of guerilla warfare and the humanitarian spirit of altruism to design strategies for improving the lives of underserved populations.
The best part of the course is that each class looks at solutions to common global problems such as water pollution, homelessness, poverty and educational disparities and students are challenged to enact small-scale interventions that help a disadvantaged person or community group within Temple's surrounding communities.
