Former Miss Canada finalist has become the first person in the world to graduate with a Masters degree in The Beatles. Canadian singer Mary-Lu Zahalan-Kennedy, 53, was one of the first students to sign up for the course on the Fab Four when it launched at Liverpool Hope University in March 2009. Twelve full-time students joined the Master of Arts course in 'The Beatles, Popular Music and Society' and Mary-Lu is the first of her class to graduate.

Surely it depends on what the students learn and the job opportunities available.
If it makes them specialists in terms of museum curators, costume advisors, blah, blah, blah and they can earn a living out of it to a standard above that they would have had without a the degree, then its a useful and worthy degree.
You could have a degree in a socially acceptable subject like engineering, or physics and either not get a job, or go into something like mamagement where the subject matter is not as important as the process.

I love it, yea yea yea. With a rag like that you know you should be glad!
A Masters of Arts in The Beatles, Popular Music and Society! Hopefully they got to listen to some other music as well.
lifeisadream: Worth it? I fell in love with this great song..............
Such a beautiful song
As for the degree thing, this to me sounds more like a hobby or leisure course, not something that is going to be too useful for anything other than one's own interest.
But then I guess a lot of degrees turn out to be that way
