"The Wire," HBO's critically acclaimed series about the harsh reality of inner-city living, may have ended almost a year ago but its cultural impact continues at colleges across the country. According to the New York Post, the series that put a spotlight on Baltimore will now become a course at Harvard University, taught by sociology professor William J. Wilson. The announcement was made during a panel discussion at the school which included some of the show's actors. Harvard will not be the first institution to offer a course on "The Wire," schools including Duke University and Middlebury College offer classes.--Nazenet Habtezghi

I always felt as a person who works in the field of Sociology and who has watched the "The Wire" episodes,that despite the strong language content on that show, that everyone could learn a lot from this show so I am not surprised that there is a course offered on this show.
