Birmingham City University in the UK will offer a one-year course in Social Media that earns you a Master’s Degree for £4,400.   Current Birmingham students think:

“Virtually all of the content of this course is so basic it can be self taught.  In fact most people know all this stuff already. I think it’s a complete waste of university resources.”

Indeed it is.  Also a waste of money, if you consider the price.  After all, you can get a Master’s Degree for $499, (nofollow) without having to fiddle around with any  courses whatsoever.  Just don’t ask me what you can do with that degree.

Update: apparently early April Fool’s jokes are not that unusual.
