Is it even possible? Yes, it is.

Hold on to your hats, skeptics. The study of alien existence is about to become a real scientific field. Pennsylvania State University is gearing up to make the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) an established field of scientific study. This means that a degree in Alien Research, no matter how outlandish it might sound, is soon going to be a real thing.
According to a report, the university is planning on doing this by offering courses on the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life in its course catalog. It will also conduct actual research into the subject through it’s newly-established Penn State Extraterrestrial Intelligence Center (PSETI Center).
The mind behind the PSETI Center is Jason T. Wright, Ph.D. According to his profile page on the Penn State website, Wright teaches astronomy and astrophysics in the university and also serves as a member of the university’s Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds, and the Habitable Zone Planet Finder development team.
His career in Penn State exposed him to data often studied by SETI scientists as part of the earlier program. Wright’s journey into the search for intelligent life began in the early 2010s, however, where an accidental one-off statement to a journalist turned him into a resource person for all queries that were remotely extraterrestrial in context.

No, but that the extra-terrestrials craft are contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer

Nice rendering of the former First Wookkie riding Nessie up front.
Next is the (taxpayer-funded) biological research of unicorns, Bigfoot, and the Loch Ness monster.
Exobiology, or whatever they’re calling it these days, has been around for a while.
Ya! That sounds much.better than a degree in Elective Tomfoolery
Thanks fieldmarshaldj.
I thought nothing could ever top Geraldo and Al Capone's Vault.
