California university now teaching zombie survival online
UC Irvine has just announced that it will be extending its studies of the human condition into the undead. By partnering with online learning platform Canvas and AMC, UC Irvine has created a class called "Society, Science, Survival: Lessons from AMC's The Walking Dead."
The course, while clearly a bit of a gimmick, will cover a wide range of topics pertinent to surviving a zombie apocalypse. By enrolling, you'll be signing up to learn about subjects from "Nutrition in a post-apocalyptic world — are squirrels really good for you?" to "The spread of infectious disease and population modeling — swarm!"
On top of all the learning and fun that the course description offers up, the class is being offered free. AMC has also taken a look at the syllabus, which means classes will be teaching lessons pertinent to next season's episodes as they air. So if you've got a hankerin' for a hunk o' learning-based spoilers, head on over to the course's enrollment page and sign up.

"California university now teaching zombie survival online" ... this bumper sticker might be just the unintended consequences of teaching zombies how to survive in California universities.
Lots of zombies are there now ...
Those who flunk this course might have to opt for another line of work ...
And this is how we’ll beat out China in STEM education!
by any chance do these ‘zombies’ want smaller govt and lower taxes?
12ga. is best.

Okay. I can’t read, and I’m drinking Vesper Martinis and beers.

Bumping a Zombie Thread!
Killing a zombie is a bullet to the head. Class being taught in KKKalifornia. That wants to outlaw guns.
Nice.
Will they continue to teach the course online after the Zombie apocolypse hits? Registrations will go through the roof!

UCI: University of Chinese Immigrants.
I live by UCI and that nickname is true.
Disagree. It takes a brain shot to take out a zombie, and while a 12 Gauge will certainly do that, it's overkill...and noisy, which just attracts more zombies.
The ideal weapon is a .22 rifle. A silenced one is best, but even without a silencer subsonic ammo is fairly quiet.
Big deal, UCLA now has cannibal culture appreciating classes. The professor, Shudi Biteu is leading the cause and legislation to promote hate crimes perpetrated against the cannibal community.
