Jonah Lewis, a sophomore majoring in political science and sociology, is a Hatchet opinions writer.

Foggy Bottom seems to have the largest population of New Jersey residents outside the state itself, but they may start regretting they didn’t stay a bit closer to home.

This week, Rutgers University announced it will offer a new course centered on Beyoncé. With cheaper tuition than GW and now a course on Beyoncé, Rutgers looks better then ever.

The course, “Politicizing Beyoncé,” will explore the 17-time Grammy winner’s music and social influence in a political and gendered context. “This isn’t a course about Beyoncé’s political engagement or how many times she performed during President Barack Obama’s Inauguration weekend,” course instructor Kevin Allred in the Department of Women’s and Gender Studies at the school’s New Brunswick campus told Rolling Stone.

Rather, Allred hopes to use the power of Beyoncé’s larger-than-life persona to focus on issues of gender and power, including “the extent of Beyoncé’s control over her own aesthetic” and “whether her often half-naked body is empowered or stereotypical.”

Unfortunately, there is no indication that GW’s registrar will be offering Beyoncé-related courses anytime soon. Yes, we have dean’s seminars like “Zombie Capitalism” and University Writing courses on video games and profanity, but nothing on Queen B.

For now, we’ll just have to hope our less-overachieving friends from high school are at Rutgers and taking the class, so we can all live vicariously through them.

Still, Beyoncé isn’t the only Carter getting her own college course. Georgetown University is also beginning a course called The Sociology of Hip-Hop: The Theodicy of Jay-Z, which centers on Beyoncé’s other half.

As if we all needed another reason to hate Georgetown.
