I am debating over this one!!! should I? shouldn't I?College, while not for everyone, is known for it's huge amount of required reading, and usually not reading anyone enjoys doing. In this challenge, we decided to take a spin on that reading list and let you earn a reading degree in the genres you want to read! Take a crack at PHD of Paranormal Science or try something a bit more broad and stop at a Bachelors in History. Broaden your reading horizon, try out some genres you may not have tried before, and most importantly read all those books you never got to read while you were in school!
For this challenge you'll be progressing through the various degrees at your own pace. Start out with your Associates Degree, move on to a Bachelors, Masters, and finally a Doctorate. You can stop at any level, but no skipping ahead! Below you'll find the criteria for each degree level, as well as a better description of what fits in each category and subcategory of the core curriculum. Now have fun as you start earning your first degree!

I am really excited to do this one, but I have to wait to start it until after I get some of my books read that have been waiting for me, haha. I am interested in seeing which one this was based off of from the Historical Fictionistas group. Does anyone know which challenge it is on there?
It's the HFU challenge (Historical Fictionistas University).
