Degree: Bachelor of Suburbia (BS)
Total Credit Hours: 121

Suburbia is big and gassy and filled with unusual lifeforms, much like the planet Jupiter. And like Jupiter, suburbia wasn't discovered until the 1950s. The Department of Suburban Science has been sending research teams into suburbia since 1962 and with the exception of the ill-fated Levittown 13 Mission, each expedition has returned with minivans full of valuable information. You can choose to spend four or more years studying what many suburban scientists call the "cheaply mass produced frontier."
