That would probably be a liability on most resumes I would think. [/ QUOTE ] Not if it was from MIT or Harvard.

If some university offered a degree in poker, then I would hope that said university would lose its accreditation.

A poker "degree" would be much more compatible with the trade school philosophy than with the university philosophy. Certain game theoretic aspects of poker might be legitimate areas of study for people getting some other degree, however.

[/ QUOTE ] New degrees are created, because of simple demand and/or the changing economy, all the time. Not too long ago you probably couldn't find a course related to managing a political campaign, now there are degrees in campaign managagement. To give another example, I have a friend that has a degree in web site management. I submit that both conditions are present for a poker degree. The demand is there, and the millions of dollars available to winning players is certainly an economic change.

You can go and study gaming at the center for gaming studies university of nevada-reno. I suspect it's a lot less fun than a degree in poker would be.
