Did I misread this or does it really take seven weeks for them to read the Stranger? Also how are the Stranger and Remembrance of Things Past counted for the same points? One can be read in a day and the other is like 50,000 pages.

Do they read all those books at once or one at a time? I don't see how you could spend seven weeks worth of classes on the Stranger.

The most important part is the jobs that could be gained.

The only job they can get is writing op-ed pieces on how feminist structuralism can dismantle the patriarchy of scifi YA

My mom urged me to go here because she thought it fit my interests best but I opted not to because I thought maybe dying in poverty was not ideal and I could read what interested me on my own time. I'm unsure of the actual job prospects that grads of these programs have though, maybe there's some space in media or publishing that they tend towards, idk
