Baltimore, MD, United States (AHN) – How does one survive a zombie apocalypse? By enrolling in the University of Baltimore’s new college course: “English 333″ or “Zombie 101,” as dubbed by the Baltimore Sun newspaper.
Jonathan Shorr, chairman of the University’s School of communications design, told the Sun that, “It’s a back door into a lot of subjects.They think they’re taking this wacko zombie course, and they are. But on the way, they learn how literature and mass media work, and how they come to reflect our times.”
The course will be taught by Arnold Blumberg, co-author of “Zombiemania: 80 Movies to Die For” and curator of “Geppi’s Entertainment Museum,” a pop culture museum located in downtown Baltimore.
Students will watch 16 classic zombie films and read several issues of “The Walking Dead” comic book series from Dark Horse Comics.
They are also required to submit research papers, write zombie movie scripts and make drawing boards of zombie films of their own making.
Baltimore follows in the footsteps of Columbia College in Chicago, which has been offering a zombie course for quite some time, and Simpson College of Iowa, where students spent a semester writing a book on “The Great Zombie War.”
