Terms from Academia

I have run across two words from the world of academia lately.

Matriculate
v. muh-trik-yuh-leyt
1. to enroll in a college or university as a candidate for a degree.

Ped·a·go·gy   /ˈpɛdəˌgoʊdʒi, -ˌgɒdʒi/ 1. the function or work of a teacher; teaching.
2. the art or science of teaching; education; instructional methods.
 
Origin:
1575–85; < Gk paidagōgía office of a child's tutor.

These are words that I would probably very rarely use, since they are so ... uncommon.

How would you use them?
