Here’s An Early Christmas Present: This University Now Offers A Major In Pizza!

Is pizza your one true love? The commandment that you live by and would die for? Then perhaps you’d better break out your savings for a post graduate education at the Manchester Metropolitan University which has just announced that it is offering a major in pizza. Yup, we’re totally serious.

The Manchester Metropolitan University collaborated with Pizza Hut to create a program that will teach students all that there is to know about pizza through theory classes and practicals. They’ll also be taught the financial and statistical knowledge that they would need to know to navigate the pizza world.

The program will run for five years and invite 1,500 students to come take their pizza love to the next level. “Over the next few years we will work hard to provide our apprentices and team members with the best training and development so that we can equip them with skills for life, not just for working in a restaurant,” said the director of marketing at Pizza Hut, Kathryn Austin.

Pizza Hut just seems to keep pulling out aces (or pizza slices) out of its hat, doesn’t it? First there was the Pizza Hut projection box, then there was the Triple Treat box for the holidays. And now there’s this. Once again, we salute you Pizza Hut.
