It seems as though Pop Star Lady Gaga wants to leverage her fame and eccentric fashion sense in the college classroom.

The famous icon has applied to New York City's reputable Parsons School for Design to become an adjunct professor or artist-in-residence in their fashion department. This also includes teaching art appreciation. The Grammy award winner would transition into academia after her Monster Ball tour next spring.

According to a British tabloid newspaper, Lady Gaga wants to "use her famous fashion sense and avant-garde art obsession to launch an academic career." It is also said that Gaga wants to fuse popular culture, music, and media into her fashion course.

Though there is already a course called "Lady Gaga and the Sociology of Fame" in the course catalog at the University of South Carolina, not everyone is ecstatic about her stamp in higher learning. Some critics deem her fashion sense as just 'plain ridiculous' and fear that she might damage the school's reputation.

In the end, sources say that Gaga craves a steady job just to be close to her family and friends after years of travelling and being on tour.

GaGa - whose real name is Stefani Germanotta - previously attended New York University's Tisch School of the arts, majoring in music, only to drop out at age nineteen.
