University students are being offered the chance to study a course entitled 'hardcore pornography'.
Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, are running the course for the first time ever as students will sit down with their lecturers and watch x-rated movies together, reports Daily Star.
The course carries three credits towards the 'Film 300' programme.
The description for the course reads: "We will watch pornographic films together and discuss the sexualisation of race, class, and gender and as an experimental, radical art form."

Some were not totally on board with the new course, with one user tweeting: "You lost when you called it an “art form”.
"Sorry that’s some garbage! Second study the 'effects' is one thing!
"Watching pornography together as a class is absolutely and emphatically disgusting!!!"
Another user added: "When there are so many legitimate problems in the world to be solved, and inspiring things to learn, I’m shocked that trash like this is being offered to students by Westminster.
"I thought they were better than this."
In a statement to KSL NewsRadio, the college said: “Westminster College occasionally offers elective courses like this as an opportunity to analyse social issues.
"As part of this analysis, Westminster College and universities across the county often examine potentially offensive topics like pornography to further understand their pervasiveness and impact.
"Descriptions of these courses, while alarming to some readers, help students decide if they wish to engage in serious investigation of controversial subjects.”
LADbible has contacted Westminster College for comment.
