Photos of Celebrities On Their Graduation Day

Graduating is one of the most fulfilling events in a person’s life, even for a celebrity. Here is a photographic collection of some of the most famous celebrities we know on the day of their graduation. Brooke Shields, James Franco, Jay-Z, and Cate Blanchett are only some of the names who didn’t need to attend online colleges.

The Sprouse Twins

Most of us fell in love with the adorable twins on their show “Suite Life of Zack and Cody”. In 2015, the twins graduated from New York University and had some very interesting majors under their belt. Cole studied archaeology while Dylan completed his studies with a focus in video game design.

Brooke Shields

Only the cream of the crop can make it into an Ivy-league school like Princeton, and having said that, we aren’t surprised that Brooke Shields graduated from Princeton in 1987 with a bachelor’s degree in French literature.

The Olsen Twins

“Full House” was the stage for the Olsen Twins to make their impression on the world. Who can possibly forget them? They enrolled at NYU but never actually finished their studies. In this photo here, they are attending “their” high school graduation back in 2004. Perhaps they needed to look into online colleges.

Bill Clinton

It seems that Bill Clinton was always going to find success. The former president attended major universities in the U.S. like Georgetown University, Oxford and Yale University. Back then online colleges weren’t available so you had to get down to work.

Kanye West

If you were to google Kanye West with the word, “graduation”, you would probably first find his 2007 album. He did however receive an honorary doctor of fine art by the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. This was the same university he left in order to pursue a career in music.

Dakota Fanning

She made it onto the silver screen when she was just a child, and we all practically watched her grow up. An important event in the star’s life was when she graduated from high school in 2011. For some of us it was when she starred alongside Denzel Washington in “Man on Fire”.

Michelle Obama

Whether you know her as a writer, a lawyer or even as the former first lady, Michelle Obama has definitely made a positive impression on you. Here she is seen at her graduation from Princeton University back in 1985. She later graduated from Harvard with a law doctorate.

Jennifer Hudson

Jennifer Hudson first grabbed our attention during the 3rd season of American Idol. This singing star graduated from Dunbar Vocational High School in 1999 and has made herself a worldwide sensation. It’s no wonder she calls Whitney Houston one of her greatest inspirations.

James Franco

You better get out your notepad for this one, because this Hollywood all-star packs a list of education behind him. He attended the Rhode Island School of Design, Yale, Columbia University, Tisch School of Arts, Brooklyn College, The Warren Wilson College and UCLA! And we can guarantee you that this acting genius did not need the help of online colleges to get his collection of degrees and diplomas.

Eva Longoria

This “desperate housewife” is anything but desperate and we know because she has been happily married since 2016. Longoria graduated with her masters degree in Chicano Studies from California State University in 2013.

Kylie Minogue

This Australian singer and songwriter has been an activist and promoter of breast cancer awareness for a long time. Her efforts to raise awareness about the sickness resulted in her receiving an honorary Doctor of Health Science degree by Anglia Ruskin University.

Selena Gomez

Would you have guessed that Selena Gomez graduated at the age of sixteen after attending school at home?
Well this pop star managed to graduate on-screen as well, which we can imagine must have felt somewhat different.

Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber wasn’t able to attend his own graduation at St. Michael Catholic Secondary School in 2012. But he had little to worry about because Ellen DeGeneres took care of making him a graduation ceremony. She even went to the trouble of customizing a hat just for him and his hair. He’s thinking about taking courses through online colleges but no-one knows for sure yet.

Cate Blanchett

Her confidence and amazing acting skills have made her one of the best actresses of all-time. “The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons” had us all begging to see more. She enrolled in the National Institute of Dramatic Art, and just look where it’s brought her. In 1992 she graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.

Emma Watson

If what you’re expecting is to see “Hogwarts” listed as Emma Watson’s education, then you are mistaken. However you will not be disappointed to know that she graduated from Brown University with a bachelor’s degree in English literature. Not much of a muggle is she?
