It's a dream that's now one step closer to reality: a generation of college graduates
who majored in "The Walking Dead" with a minor in "Game of Thrones." The University
of California, Irvine Wednesday announced the launch of a free, open online course
built on AMC's major cult hit "The Walking Dead." "The Walking Dead" provides "many
poignant case-studies related to the scholarly areas covered in the course," says

for everyone in this course, which will explore concepts as varied as post-disaster
nutrition, the foundations of human survival and stereotypes in a Darwinian environment.
