College Graduation Requirements

First, read this:

For those of you who skipped that link (you know who you are, and I can probably guess who you are too), swimming tests became mandatory graduation requirements in most colleges following World War II. Though most schools have since dropped such tests, some prestigious universities, including MIT, still require graduating seniors to prove that they can maneuver in the water.

I suppose this is a good thing, as neither $200k a year nor stock options are going to save you should your yacht hit a reef or get torpedoed by pirates. But it got me thinking: what other non-traditional tests would make good college graduation requirements? Here's a list:

• Walking down a busy street with an iPod. Students must successfully navigate several packed city blocks while changing songs at least 10 times without bumping into anyone or almost getting run over.
• Turning on the computer. Self-explanatory. The University of Phoenix online administers this test in the second semester of sophomore year.
  
• Reciting the clip art catalogue (Management of Technology only). After all, what's a Powerpoint presentation without an overabundance of clipart that's only slightly relevant or not nearly as humorous as the presenter thought it would be? BMT graduates must be able to recite the entire Microsoft clipart library by title and category while simultaneously kissing a simulated boss's ass. Literally.
  
• Escaping from the Foggy Goggle. Talk about a survival skill. Test takers are bound, gagged, blindfolded, and left in the corner of the Goggle's lower level and are tasked with freeing themselves, avoiding the herd of buffalo women and the bathroom, eating three Foggy Doggies in a minute and a half, and then finally managing to escape out onto Boylston Street. Test takers must then write a half-assed blog about it the following morning that includes two different bulleted lists. This is the exact opposite of a graduation test used by several all girl high schools, wherein subjects must willingly enter the bar by sweet talking the bouncer and/or flashing inappropriate amounts of skin and, persuade five different men to buy them cosmos, down a fishbowl, and then throw up all over the bathroom.
