Michigan State University is offering a seven-week seminar on how to survive a zombie Apocalypse, and I think we’re all wondering the same thing.

One class? Why not a whole major?

Baby steps, zombie lovers.

The class, called “Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse: Catastrophes & Human Behavior,” is taught by Glenn Stutzky. TIME.com reports he sums his class up this way: “In a time of catastrophe, some people find their humanity; other lose theirs.

OK, that makes more sense. Though the class has the Z-word in the name, it’s not truly about the make-believe undead. It’s really about how humans react in catastrophic situations, using a zombie apocalypse scenario.

That sounds more interesting than how to stop a zombie in its tracks (in my humble opinion), but some hardcore undead fans might not agree.

For those, we have this quick tutorial to surviving a zombie apocalypse in Seattle, courtesy of some zombie-know-it-alls on Reddit.
