As always, moving from east to west ...

The University of Connecticut: puppetry, ancient Mediterranean studies, human rights and maritime studies.

Why did I never take advantage of this degree program?

Sounds fun.

Sesame Street, the Henson company, and Disney (among others), wave hi : )

I mean I know it's an art form... Just never knew I could walk around telling people it was something I had my bachelor's in lol.

I agree, sounds like the most fun major offered on campus!

On this theme, Northwestern, Illinois State and Florida State offer clubs focused on the circus arts. But I don't see that any conventional university offers a degree in the circus arts.

It seems UConn is the only university that offers degrees (both bachelor's and master's) in puppetry.

I genuinely wonder how many people are getting a master's degree in puppetry from UConn each year, lol
