As reported on The Guardian’s music blog yesterday, it’s now possible to take a degree in… Lady Gaga.

The University of South Carolina is offering a degree entitled ‘Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame,’ upon which presumably students can study aspects of the popstar’s persona, her publicity-driven lifestyle, and her impact on popular culture of the twenty-first century.

After all, Lady Gaga was recently voted the ‘most influential artist of 2010’ in Time magazine.

Are there any other artists who might merit their own degree ? Joni Mitchell ? Bob Dylan ? Miles Davis ? Did I mention Joni Mitchell ?

Comments please!
