How many book-based Master’s/Bachelor’s degrees could the blogosphere come up with?
This idea all started when Seth Godin suggested that the vast majority of the education of an MBA degree could be had by simply reading 30-40 books. Josh Kaufman followed up with 82 books/resources doing just that. Then OverMatter compiled a 30-Book MBA in Entrepreneurship.
This is an incredible idea.
I firmly believe something that a college professor of mine once said: “People go to college to learn how to read and write. People go to graduate school to read and write.” I don’t think he’s too far off. That being said, most people capable of independent study should be able to gain a great portion of the education of one degree by .
What if we compiled a wiki-based “master list” of Master’s degrees? (Or even Bachelor’s degrees?) Anyone up to the task?
If you aren’t one who can provide such a list, at least mention which degrees you’d like to see.
My list would include:
Philosophy Journalism English Political Science
What about you?
