PROVO — Universities across the nation are teaching classes involving the work of pop star Taylor Swift. Brigham Young University has joined the list.
BYU joins Stanford, Berkeley, New York University and the University of Florida with its offering of a Swift-focused curriculum.
The class is POLI 360, titled "Miss Americana: Taylor Swift, Ethics and Political Society." The course teaches students advanced research skills, writing, political theory and the philosophy of Swift herself.
BYU student Roxanna said she was surprised this class is being offered but said studying music is important.
"Philosophy through any music, I can understand because it delivers amazing messages," she said.
The class is being taught by a professor with a doctorate in political philosophy. However, if you are a BYU student hoping to take the class, seats are already filled for this semester.
