They are one of America’s most famous families, and with the television and business empire they have built, one would wonder if they could even have time to graduate with any college degrees. Well, two of them did—Kourtney and Rob. The eldest Kardashian went to Texas and enrolled in the Southern Methodist University to pursue a bachelor’s degree. But after two years, she moved to the University of Arizona where she earned her bachelor’s degree in theater arts with a minor in Spanish.
Kourtney soon found out that acting was not for her and together with her sisters, she got involved in retail and fashion. Their clothing lines have had massive success all over the country.
Freddie Highmore Has a Bachelor's in Spanish and Arabic
The English actor made his first debut in the comedy, Women Talking Dirty, when he was only seven years old. Since then, he has built a prominent name for himself in Hollywood. Despite his success, Highmore never stopped studying. He gained his high school education at an independent school called Highgate School. Later, when he was filming Bates Motel, he studied at the University of Cambridge’s Emmanuel College. Highmore earned a double-first degree, a British counterpart of first-class honors, in Spanish and Arabic.
Highmore, who has previously won awards as a young actor, received much acclaim for his role as Norman Bates in Bates Motel and was nominated thrice for the Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series. He finally won a People’s Choice Award in 2017.
Will Ferrell Has a Bachelor's in Sports Information
Will Ferrell is a household name in the comedy industry and has done quite a lot of films in his career. However, he did not originally plan the entertainment path as he was growing up. He was never the class clown in high school and was, in fact, studious. He played football and set a school record for most field goals made.
In 1990, Ferrell received a bachelor of arts in sports information from the University of Southern California. But the sports information program is no longer existent. Some of his films show that root in sports though, such as the films Blades of Glory, Talladega Nights, and Semi-Pro.
Bradley Cooper Has a Bachelor's in English
The Oscar-nominated actor is just as passionate onscreen as he is with the English language. So much so that he graduated with honors at Georgetown University in 1997. Bradley Cooper supposedly cried when he read Romeo and Juliet in the campus library as part of his study towards his English degree. In an interview with GQ, he also described how elated he felt when he first read Paradise Lost.
Cooper’s passion would soon trickle down to his acting career. His first TV appearance was on Sex and the City, but he gained commercial success in the film, Wedding Crashers, with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. It was his work in The Silver Linings Playbook, American Sniper, American Hustle, and A Star Is Born which earned him Academy Award nods.
Ashton Kutcher Has a Bachelor's in Biochemical Engineering
While some people think that Ashton Kutcher was initially just a fine actor and a prankster, especially when he created Punk’d. He is more than meets the eye and people are often surprised that he has a major in biochemical engineering from the University of Iowa. He hoped to find a cure for his brother’s septal heart defect and cerebral palsy.
Kutcher is also an investor who co-founded different businesses and investments. He also formed a not-for-profit foundation to put an end to child slavery and later, to prevent child sex trafficking.
