Beyoncé,erotice anime girl Kanye West, and Kendrick Lamar have a lot in common, but there's something unexpected that sets them apart from their peers: They've each been the subject of a college course.
Now, thanks to an approved class at the University of California, Berkeley, the prolific Frank Ocean will join the elite and growing class of musicians who can claim that their work and celebrity is worthy of academic study.

They'll also be the ones at the front of the classroom teaching Ocean-centric lessons to students come fall 2018. They told the magazine that the course will cover everything from gender politics to the artist's musical influences, and will do so through the lens of Ocean's discography.
Gill tweeted the news on June 15th alongside a promotional course poster featuring an illustration of Ocean's latest album Blonde. The course title, "Brain Like Berkeley," comes from the lyrics to the artist's 2011 track "Novacane."

"We want to encourage a deep literary exploration of his artistry both in lyrics and through his visuals and live performances," the duo told The Fader. "We hope to provide a safe environment where students can discuss his poetry and music with sensitivity, creative respect, and open-mindedness."
After Gill's announcement, fans of Ocean flooded Twitter with excitement about the course. (For those in the Berkeley area, Gill tweeted that opportunities to audit the class will be available.)

Gill and Change won't be the only ones giving Ocean's work a thorough analysis. The critically lauded podcast "Dissect" has dedicated its entire season to Ocean as a musician and as an enigma.
