It is an English course entitled ‘Media Genres: Zombies.’ A junior in the class claims, “It’s not about zombies. It’s about how ideas in society express themselves.”
Topics up for discussion include whether slow or fast zombies are scarier, and the move from radioactive zombies to virus-infected zombies in films. Students will watch "Night of the Living Dead", "28 Days Later", and "Zombieland".
According to a professor for a similar class in Columbia College in Chicago, "It was kind of a fight to get it as a recognized course at the school, because at first, it appears to be kind of a frivolous topic.".
