School of Scaring
For generations, the most frightening, gruesome, and hair-raising monsters have built their foundation for scaring at Monsters University. For the 143rd year in a row, Monster News & Report has given MU the top University ranking in their annual scaring issue. The scaring faculty take pride in a rigorous classroom experience, backed with centuries of institutional academic research.
STUDENT TESTIMONIAL
"I thought I knew everything about scaring. I read all the books, knew all the best scarers' stats. I was even the Scaretorian at my high school, but it turns out that every student at MU was Scaretorian. It's a challenging program."
-- Tommy Flaggerton, MU Junior
