Pulled from the Movie/TV News section of IMDB:
Anime Goes to College
New York University (NYU) is offering two courses in the Japanese animation art called anime. One is aimed at the general public ("We will explore the popularity of anime in relation to the cultural conditions of contemporary Japan and to the context of cultural globalization."); the other is aimed at entertainment industry professionals ("Consider the billions of yen generated each year through film, comics, and video games in Japan. Translate this lucrative artistic style into U.S. dollars and see the amazing opportunities available").

That's almost unfair.... I'd die to take a class on anime.. even if it was "boring".. though I dunno if it could be boring for me. There would be an entire classroom full of my comrads!

Wow, I wish I could take a class about anime, I guess I'd learn something, if not, at least I'd enjoy it.

I think MIT was already offering an anime course prior to this?
I wonder if their courses teach people how to survive in the bitter cold without food and money too :D

my college had an anime and comics class
As for the question of earlier collegs offering b.s.-classes in anime, yes this is not the first. There have been such courses in a small number of random schools sense atleast the early 90s. I say b.s. because it's obviously a walk through class for 90% of the people that would take it; the college has b.s. requirements for what a potential new class has to be, which the professor, who wants to teach a class about watching his anime collection, has found a way to b.s. through and get the class deemed academic or whatever. (Please note though I'm not disprespecting the idea of having such a class)

If I remember correctly, Michigan or Michigan State (I know it's one of those two) did have a course on anime a while back. (I had a friend who went to Michigan State, but he didn't like it because of the cold weather.)
