notability Books date August 2010 orphan date November 2008 University of Psychogenic Fugue , sometimes abbreviated to UPF , is a satirical humor book in the form of a parody college course catalog for a fictional American University written by Tye R Farrell and Jeffrey Morrow. It was published by Meteorite Press in 2002. Its subtitle is A Course Catalog for Students of Life . The book dryly satirizes the 21st century college experience and the foibles of modern life through hundreds of classes in 15 departments of study, including Glamour, Suburban Science, Life Science, and Love. In addition, the book describes fictional scholarships , grants, university buildings, and meaingless complex policies. There are also numerous campus clubs, fraternities and sororities , including Gamma Lambda Ding Dong and Eradicate Ugliness Worldwide. The book s sometimes cynical humor has been described as similar to The Onion . The University s name comes from a psychological condition, psychogenic fugue , in which a person is unable to remember his or her past. The term psychogenic fugue was recategorized as dissociative fugue so now according to the authors it is a state of mind that doesn t exist.
