Is it possible to get a Degree in astrology?

I’m sure you can get all 360 degrees in astrology, which, if you add $2.50 will buy you a ride on the West Side IRT.

I hope not.

I pray for humanity that degrees in Astrology do not exist.
I of course pray to the jug of milk in my fridge.

Kepler College offers an M.A. in astrology.

Lifted from their site:

Eastern and Western Traditions: The History, Philosophy and Transmission of Astrology

Astrology played a pivotal role in the intellectual history of both the ancient and medieval Eastern and Western cultures. This MA program will trace the diffusion and cross pollination of astrological doctrines among the Mesopotamians, Indians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Persians, Arabs, and the medieval Europeans, and explore the ways in which these astrological doctrines influenced the phi­losophical systems, religious beliefs, and political history of each of these host cultures.

There’s a Beatles degree
Now that’s just ridiculous

I’ll bet you can at Fairhaven. I think you can pretty much make anything up there.

I’m sure there are many colleges that offer degrees in astrology. (Or, if not quite that precisely focused, then degrees in Divination, etc.) I know for a fact that John F. Kennedy University in northern California offers degree in Parapsychology (or at least, they used to).

Is this wrong? (shrug) Many people find religion to have no more basis in fact than astrology does, and countless colleges & universities offer degrees in all sorts of religious disciplines…

OK checked out Keppler College which is evidently not accredited by any of the six regional college accreditation agencies.

“Kepler College is authorized by the Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board” The HECB is a financial aid board. not an accreditation group. This means you can get loans to go there just like the trade schools the advertise on TV. This status is only current through Spring of 2010.

With their faculty of 11 instructors they claim to provide classes in all subjects including math and sciences.

It’s possible to get a degree in anything as long as you can borrow the money. Remember these education loans can never go away, even with bankruptcy.

It’s a diploma mill.

The answer to this question is written in the stars.

Hmm…interesting. I would say the should of the degree offering would depend if it’s a BA or BS (or MA/MS). the BS being BullSh!t, of course! ;)

If I recall correctly, Dr. Science had a degree in…. science!

I suppose so, you can get a degree in chiropractics, and anyone with half a brain knows chiropractic practitioners might as well be homeopathic memory water sellers.

No. Not from any reputable university. I’m sure there are organizations issuing certificates. Astrology is not science. They got the cause and effect part completely wrong. Seasons do have an influence on pregnant women and hormonal changes affect the unborn baby. But Pluto got nothing to do with that. Let alone Eris which might actually not be on some astrology menus yet.
