Academics:

• Physics -- The Oligarchy University has made great strides in the field of physical science. For example, Co-Ruler of the World Brendan Dillon has personally held seminars, teaching his breakthrough discovery known as Newton's Cheesewheel.
   
• Alconomics -- The study of alconomics is a traditional one on college campuses, but never before has it been organized as a field of official study. The science has been most recently developed by Co-Ruler of the World Wayland Phillips, who derived what is affectionately known as the Drunken Equation. This equation is useful in determining the type, quantity, and frequency of alcoholic drinks one should consume in order to attain various desirable effects. The Master's curriculum for an Alconomics post-graduate degree is available.
   
• Theology -- The field of Theology was revolutionized when the underlying principles of THE TRUE RELIGION were established as facts. It is well known that not only do gods exist, there is a basic hierarchy and rank structure, and the "creator" of the Universe currently resides in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where she naps for centuries at a time. Oligarchy University established the world's first laboratory of Applied Theology, based on many of the teachings of Head Prophet Cronan Thompson. One of the most important theological document known is Cronan's translation of The GodFAQ: How the Universe Really Works.
   
• Political Science -- All agents of The World Oligarchy should have at least a basic familiarity with certain aspects of political science, such as World Domination and Oligarchy Constitutional Law.
   
• Biology -- Wayland and his wife, Bessie, have been furthering the study of biology and anatomy for several years.
   
• History -- The history of The World Oligarchy is a legendary one. Recently, a comprehensive Historical Timeline was compiled, listing the most important events in World Oligarchy and TRUE RELIGION history. Much can also be learned of the Oligarchy's involvement in the Canadian War and the AOL War, as well as Norman's Rebellion. Oligarchy University plans to publish an insanely complete Encyclopedia of the Oligarchy at some point in the future; in the meantime, a Hail to the Oligarchy Glossary is available.
   
• Literature -- The World Oligarchy has made a major impact in modern literature. The Hail to the Oligarchy Trilogy was written as an account of the Oligarchy's Canadian War, while the AOL War Archive collects news articles and stories of that conflict. On a more peaceful note, a great deal of humorous and insightful writings can be found in The Mustang, the Peeping Commendation Medal recipients, Kamikaze Filk Squad, the Online Tribute to Cronan Thompson, and the Antifrance Archive. Senior Prophet Bob Doughboy's Little Bob Chronicles have also contributed to Oligarchy literature. TTR's Holy Texts list a number of other works.
   
• English -- The study of the English language is an ever-important one, since all the current Oligarchy leaders speak it. Wayland has contributed yet another nugget of wisdom to our curriculum with this grammar lesson.

Oligarchy University is involved with a number of projects, researching topics that are important to our everyday lives.

• Our Adhesive Chemistry department is constantly furthering the science of duct tape.
   
• As is mentioned above, OU has the world's only laboratory of Applied Theology, a new and groundbreaking field of study. Efforts have been made to bring the Zizza-Botta-Wodda-Wodda-Boink-Boink-Frebian language, which is spoken by certain high-ranking gods, to the mortal realm. No word yet if we will share the fate of Prometheus.
   
• And of course, we are studying the all-important question: Is a frog's ass water tight?
