Columbia University Launches Innovative Major in Homeland Security Detainment Studies
New program promises hands-on experience in unexpected locations

"Our students will graduate ready to face security protocols at a moment's notice."
Columbia University made headlines Thursday morning by unveiling a groundbreaking new major in Homeland Security Detainment Studies. The announcement came shortly after a student was unexpectedly detained by Homeland Security agents while peacefully studying in a campus building.
The new major promises to equip students with the skills needed to navigate these increasingly common interactions with government agencies. Program director Dr. Imma Gonnaactnow stated, "In today's world, adaptability and a quick wit are essential. Our students will graduate ready to face security protocols at a moment's notice, whether in line at the airport or while innocently sipping a latte."
Curriculum highlights include courses such as "Intro to Diplomacy: Conversing With Federal Agents," and "Advanced Time Management: Using Downtime During Detainment Efficiently." The university is also proud to offer a unique internship program, promising real-world experience for every enrolled student.
While some universities might shy away from such avant-garde offerings, Columbia remains at the forefront of academic innovation. "We are committed to providing an education that is both relevant and exhilarating," added Dr. Gonnaactnow, seeming unaware of a government helicopter circling overhead.
