A pirate looks at 40 ... er.. I mean, 70

I missed my calling.
At MIT, you can actually earn a certificate in “Pirate Arts” and no, this isn’t a joke. If you complete physical education classes in archery, sailing, fencing, and pistol shooting, you’ll officially become a certified pirate by MIT standards. It’s quirky, it’s real, and it might just be the coolest PE requirement ever.
While some colleges hand out gym credits for yoga or badminton, MIT says, “How about becoming a swashbuckling legend?” It’s the kind of unexpected tradition that makes even a prestigious tech school feel like an adventure novel. So if you ever dreamed of being a pirate with a diploma… now you know where to go.
