A university in Texas has announced it will offer a course based on the work of former One Direction star Harry Styles.
The course is titled Harry Styles and the Cult of Celebrity: Identity, the Internet, and European Pop Culture and will be on offer at Texas State University Honours College from next spring.
This isn’t the first celebrity-themed university course – stars such as Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Jay Z, Kanye West and The Beatles.
This new course at Texas State will focus on the One Direction star's work in music and film in order to "understand the cultural and political development of the modern celebrity".
Sharing the news on Twitter, the course’s Professor Dr Louie Dean Valencia wrote: "It's official, official. I'm the world's first ever university course on the work of #HarryStyles.
"It's happening Spring 2023 at @TXST University. This is what tenure looks like. Let's gooooo!"
