Pink Floyd University, a new correspondence course devoted to all things Floydian, has opened its virtual doors.
The project is an evolution of two courses Karl “Pink” Anderson (pictured) taught at Renton Technical College (RTC) in Renton, Wash., 10 years ago.
Anderson, now in Bay City, Ore., has expanded the curriculum to include what he promises will be an exhaustive study of the band and its output contained in 30 modules.
Registration for the course is $125, with each module costing an additional $50. Students receive course materials — including audio material — either via email or snail mail. With a maximum of four weeks to complete each module, students can graduate within 2½ years at a total cost of $1,625.
Anderson used archives from our Floydian Slip radio show to supplement his courses back at RTC. We have no official tie to PFU.
More information is available at the PFU Web site, or email Anderson at redpanda54@embarqmail.com.
