What will the Prime Minister do to me? Write a letter telling me how pissed he is?
Lol I'm only kidding..... A degree in Canadian Studies could be used for personal fulfillment, or even for someone who wishes to teach on the subject. So a US Citizen studying Canadian Studies probably isn't as bazaar as the other subjects I noted. I'm an atheist, but I've given serious thought to earning a degree in religion, because the subject fascinates me.

Bowling Green has a degree in Pop Culture.
Lassen Community College has an associates in gunsmithing.
Appalachian State has a degree in Fermentation Science.
Duke has a degree in Canadian Studies.
San Francisco State offers a Master's Degree in Sexuality Studies.
North Carolina State offers a degree in Wood and Paper Science
Coventry University in England offers a Master's Degree in Parapsychology (psychic abilities)
There are tons of bazaar degrees out there....and for someone just looking to put a check in a box on an application, some of these degree titles might be something fun to study...although I think it would be hard to be taken seriously as a business professional if my bachelors degree were in puppetry.
Where you get you degree can have a big influence on what is worth specializing in. Puppetry is becoming more popular in the north east as a way of reaching children especially those with severe physical or educational handicaps. That degree plus a Masters in some kind of therapy could land you a very lucrative job.
Pop Culture I have no idea why someone would study:confused:
Gunsmithing makes sense we have a large population group who are interested in guns.
Fermentation Science is a stinky but well researched way of creating some interesting enzymes. It is probably a limited area but lucrative.
Since I now live within spitting distance of the Canadian border I find our neighbors to the north very interesting. I also find I know very little of their history (such as they gained Independence without spilling blood). I wish I had at least a course in Canadian Studies. I am sure the average Canadian knows more about American history then 95% of Americans know of Canadian history.
Sexuality Studies Maybe because San Francisco has such a large diverse population of Gay/Lesbians/Bi's ?
North and South Carolina have many Paper Mills so Wood and Paper science makes sense there.
Parapsychology? Well we always knew the British were wierd.hilarious

Turf Management comes in handy when you want to run a CC's golf course.

Knowing how polite Canadians are, he'll probably apologize for being laugh-worthy and invite you to lunch.
The more Canadians I know, the more I like the country. Sure, it gave us Justin Bieber and Nickleback, but it also gave us Commander Chris Hadfield. cheersmate

it sounds like a really fun degree
probably learn all about how to make wine and beer and cheese, and a lot of food chemistry
I'd take it

I took most of them
General Chemistry I & II with lab
Organic Chem I & II with lab
Luckily I missed this one--Quantitative Analysis
My biochem was a mixture of Inorganic,organic and biological science
I also took Physical Science --Like beginning Physics
I took Micro with Lab but ended up Failing that.
Yes those are killer classes, that's why when TESC didn't have a Chemistry degree I was fine with changing to Natural Sciences

I was an atheist myself for 40 years, but it got too difficult. I found the non-existence of God could not be proved. You had to take it on faith! hilarious.
