Most comics have a very personal art style and writing style, I don't think that a course on comic strip yields much necessary skills. There are multiple comic degrees in Asia, but I assume you were not referring to manga.

I'm in UBC's Creative Writing program and I'm taking a graphic novel course next semester. It's not a degree in comic strips/graphic novels, but you still have specializations (I'm focusing on screenplays, for example). The program is supposedly one of the best in the country.. a lot of well-reguarded Canadian writers come from here :P.

Why would you want to pay a university thousands of dollars a year to teach you something that you do not need a degree to succeed in? Vuurk

because universities land you jobs.

whether or not you think it is sad or good, going to college/university is as much about making connections and getting a job, as it is about learning. In the end, its a statement, a milestone, an achievement; an employer will look at you and think "This guy has foresight and a strong work ethic. I'm going to hire him, and not the guy that draws in his free time and dropped out of junior college".

Not saying the graduate is better simply by virtue of education, but he is more valuable and proven.
