Majoring in foreclosures

Got $375? "Dr. Dani" wants to teach you the ins and outs of foreclosures. While get rich foreclosure seminars are a dime a dozen, what's a little surprising about this one is who's offering it -- the University of California, Irvine Extension.

The six-week course is taught by Danielle Babb, whose latest book, "Finding Foreclosures," is required reading for the course (along with a subscription to RealtyTrac).

According to a press release from the university, the course is perfect for families whether they "simply want to move into a better neighborhood at the same price, or are looking to invest in a market known for being more stable than playing the stocks – buying in at today’s low foreclosure prices can be very lucrative and exciting.”

The class description says Babb is the author of four books, "focusing on the use of technology in various industries." One of those books is "Make Money Teaching Online: How to Land Your First Academic Job, Build Credibility, and Earn a Six-Figure Salary." According to her faculty bio at "American Sentinel University" -- one of those online schools presumably providing that six-figure salary -- Babb earned her PhD at Capella University, another virtual institution of higher learning.
