A wealthy benefactor offers to send you to a college or university of your choice for a three- or four-year Bachelor’s degree. You can take the classes remotely or in-person. The benefactor will cover all your tuition and other expenses for the normal length of the program. If you’re currently employed, they’ll arrange for a fully paid leave of absence for you; after you complete your degree you can return to your old job if you wish. The only catch is that you must select from the following rather specialized (but very real) degree programs. What are your top three choices? _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/4222))_ ---
