Anyone who has seen the movie Poltergeist knows that paranormal events are difficult to deal with.  Should you go into the light?  Should you stay away from the light?  It is just so confusing, especially when there isn’t always an older psychic woman to come and save the day.  What does the family in the movie do?  They consult a group of researchers who specialize in parapsychology.  How do you specialize in that?  Do you have to go to school for it?  Well, yes.  You do.

Conventry University offers a Master of Science in Parapsychology where students will examine a subject that holds a great fascination for many people – the existence of life after death and psychic abilities.  The program provides a thorough empirical, theoretical and methodological introduction to the controversial field of parapsychology.  It is delivered entirely online and is based upon existing staff research and teaching expertize in parapsychology within the university’s Psychology Department.

Areas studied on the course will include:

* History and Philosophy of Parapsychology
* Research Methods in Parapsychology
* Anomalous Experiences
* Extrasensory Perception and Psychokinesis Research
* Transpersonal Psychology
* Studies of Evidence for Survival of Bodily Death (Apparitions, Reincarnations, and Cases of Possession)
* A Dissertation Based on Empirical Research

The univeristy says that this program is geared towards individuals who are looking to continue on to get their PhD in the same area.  With this degree families might soon be calling you to come fix their poltergeists.
