University of Victoria to study explore her music, and feminist stance.
Quote:
The University of Victoria and the University of Waterloo have dedicated courses to exploring the career of the superstar, who turns 34 on Sept. 4.
"I just thought she would be an artist that a lot of the students -- especially in this young 20s age range -- would be able to identify with.... They've pretty much had Beyonce in their lives their entire lives," said University of Victoria lecturer Melissa Avdeeff, whose course debuted in January and will return this fall.
The introductory music course touched on everything from music video analysis to feminism and gender studies, tracking Beyonce's career trajectory from her girl-group days with Destiny's Child to solo stardom.
"She's an artist that has stayed relevant culturally. She's had her hand in a lot of different cultural aspects -- not just her music," said Avdeeff.
University of Waterloo to study her MUSIC
Quote:
It will be her music that will be the prime focus of "Gender and Performance," debuting at the University of Waterloo this fall.
The course, being offered by the school's drama and speech communication department, will centre on Beyonce's self-titled visual album, analyzing videos and looking at performance study models, feminist and race theories in the context of her work.

I know the difference, thank you, and no where in my original post indicated I wasn't aware of the difference. My original post still stands.
Have you enrolled?
It does indicated you don't understand the difference if you're insinuating that they are offering a BEYONCE MAJOR! They are offering a SINGULAR course. No where in the OP does it say that this is a program. So my post still stands and you still deserve to be unemployed. I'm not enrolled I've got my Degree. Do you?
