: Shaquille O'Neal is now OFFICIALLY A DOCTOR. He received his doctorate degree from Barry University
And it wasn't one of those ONLINE ONLY courses either. For the past FOUR YEARS, Shaq took 16 courses, completed 54 credit hours and carried a grade point average of 3.813. The 40-year-old’s exact degree is in Organizational Learning and Leadership, with a specialization in human resource development.
But it gets even MORE interesting. Because of Shaq's hectic schedule in recent years (as an NBA player and a commentator), professors had to fly to him for one-on-one classes, some of which took place in Cincinnati, Orlando, Los Angeles and New York. And ALL professors travel was PAID FOR by Shaq.
Go head SHAQ!!!
Dam i got respect for Shaq but now he gets all my respect not like he cares,its not 2 many rich people in this world that would go back 2 school for 4 years and flying the teacher out hope it was a beautiful woman lol but thats some boss chit,whats funny tho i been thinking about going back 2 school am gonna fix an sell houses but am going 2 school and not gonna pay cab fare for the teacher 2 come see me.
Dr. Oneal and it's NOT honorary either! For an athlete, and one who comes across as a duffus, I am certainly happy for him and with his resources, I am sure while it wasn't mentally easy for him, financially, he could pull it off! No student loans and paybacks! Good going Shaq, make that money work for you!
