In a weird and unconventional turn of events, East Tennessee State University (ETSU) will begin offering a Lycanthropic Studies course for students with a major in Biology. The strange offering stems from a unanimous request from students after a rare mummified lycanthrope head was discovered outside of London, England on the moors near a pub called 'The Slaughtered Lamb' back in October.
What most consider a werewolf from literature, the lycanthrope is actually a disease passed through saliva, usually through biting. In folklore, a werewolf, or occasionally lycanthrope, is a human with the ability to shapeshift into a wolf (or, especially in modern film, a therianthropic hybrid wolf-like creature), either purposely or after being placed under a curse or affliction (often a bite or scratch from another werewolf) and especially on the night of a full moon. Each civilization and culture have their own myths and folklore regarding lycanthropy, even Ancient Greece.
Doctor of Anthropological Studies, Lawrence Talbot, is heading up the new program, which will be offered primarily to students with Biology majors or those going into the medical field. Dr. Talbot has high hopes that the new study will bring myth to reality as lycanthropy is researched. Funding for the program has been on the table for years, but it wasn't until the discovery in England that fast-tracked the study to the forefront of ETSU's educational track.
Lycanthropic Studies will be available to students in the Fall 2019 Semester. For questions, please direct all inquiries to [email protected] or call the main office at: (423) 439-1000.
