Ninja Studies Graduate Degree

Central Japan's Mie University is offering a master's degree in Ninja Studies. To enroll in the program, prospective students have to take an exam on Japanese history and a reading test on historical ninja documents. Only about three students a year enroll in the program, although there are many inquiries from overseas.

The program's first graduate is 45 year old Genichi Mitsuhashi.  He read that ninjas worked as farmers in the morning and trained in marial arts in the afternoon, so he grew vegetables, honed his martial arts techniques, and spent many hours in the classroom with ninja studies. Mitsuhashi teaches ninja skills at his own dojo and runs a local inn while pursuing his PhD. 

Would you be interested in this ninja program?  I imagine you have to be in great physical shape as well as be able to read and write Japanese. It does sound interesting though.
