    As a module in a degree I would think it would be both sustainable and interesting. But basing a degree/masters around it would be stretching it IMO.
    Agree.

    Certificate for $26! :P

    To be fair, course content would fit in nicely into a media studies course and imo would be a welcome addition.

    Surprised that they can produce the optional and additional certificate for a mere 26 bucks. Maybe you don't talk to a live person? Computer generated?

    I would say you are right. Probably all online and very "no frills" too I would imagine.

    I'm sure lectures and study materials would be available online. Best way to do it really.

    Reminds me of a couple of free edX classes I want to take, but not in meme studies, the latter being fun.
