Howard gets it wrong: A class on Cardi B is not rigorous study
Howard University is introducing a new course on Cardi B, sparking concerns about the rigor of the academic curriculum. The course, titled 'The Cardi B: Am I The Drama? The Art, Production, Marketing, and Cultural Impact of Hip-Hop,' is seen as lowering academic standards.
Howard University will introduce a course on Cardi B in the 2026-27 academic year. The course will examine Cardi B's business skills and cultural impact. Critics argue that this course is not rigorous academic study and will attract students more interested in celebrity than traditional academic work. Howard University is a historically Black college with a reputation for excellence, having produced notable alumni such as Thurgood Marshall and Toni Morrison. The introduction of this course has sparked concerns about the decline of academic standards in American culture. The university should challenge students to think critically, rather than focusing on trendy and fleeting topics.
