University Awards First Beatles Degree

(Reuters) A Canadian woman has become the first person in the world to graduate with a Masters degree in Beatles studies.  Former Miss Canada finalist, Mary-Lu Zahalan-Kennedy was one of the first 12 students to sign up for the Liverpool Hope University course  on the Fab Four when it began in 2009 and was the first to graduate, the university said on Wednesday.

"I am so proud of my achievement," Zahalan-Kennedy said. "The course was challenging, enjoyable and it provided a great insight into the impact the Beatles had and still have to this day across all aspects of life."
I guess it beats a degree in Basket Weaving!
