University of Tennessee to Offer Class on Dolly Partons Life
The acceptance letter is in, and that means that Dolly Parton is getting her own college course.
The University of Tennessee in Knoxville recently announced plans to offer a semester-long class about the country queens upbringing in the East Tennessee region. The course will be open to honors history students as the first thesis seminar of three total they will need to take as a graduation requirement.
While the syllabus was not released, the course was described as an introduction and discovery of Partons childhood in the simple small town to her international success as a country music artist. As a part of the coursework, students will be required to read Partons book, Dolly: My Life, along with other books about the Appalachian lifestyle to supplement the material.
