A Matter of Course

CMAT 333/ENGL 333: Media Genres: Media Marvels

When a university offers a course that takes an academic look at an aspect of popular culture like the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or, say, zombies), the media response is nothing short of heroic. Our course has been covered in news outlets from TIME to The Hollywood Reporter; here are just a few of the articles written about it:

The Baltimore Sun: “Marvel super heroes to be topic of new University of Baltimore class”
CNET: “Study Captain America, Iron Man for college credit”
