: 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!!!

He made a promise, and kept it. I wish we all could fly professors to accommodate our hectic schedules.

It doesn't matter how long it took to get it...he GOT IT! And as far as online classes, it's nothing wrong with them if they are from an accredited school MTO. Some of your dumb staff members who write the stories and the editors also need to take a class...online or face-to-face!!

Never too late to learn ...


TopDawg1

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.


mysterykills

Four years is not a long time considering it takes most people between 8-10 years to complete their ph.d requirements and plus, he has the added responsiblity of being a celebrity...it takes discipline and dedication to complete a program...so congrats are in order for him!


LonerBug

oh please mto.. four years is not too long


juicyj3001

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!


MS SERENITY

This could be taken negatively or positively - negative meaning - it took him too long {4 yrs} to accomplish this ....or positive meaing - it ONLY took him 4 yrs when it takes some people longer...... either way, two thumbs up Shaq ! Congrats !!!


MellaSoMM

It's Good Look! & a GREAT example. NOW if only the rest of these basic ninjas would put down the microphones, pull they pants up, STOP TRYNA RECREATE THE 80'S (murdering & robbing) and pick up a book, MAYBE we could get somewhere!


NYCblackMAN

Thats what you want to aspire to fellas a good education ....................not video hoes/ porno models/ strippers, etc! Fathers need to stay in the home and raise their children correctly.


Haneefah22

Congrats!!! I hope I don't read no negative comments when half of u or ur family don't even have a GED..


Alessandra

Congratulations to him, and some people take 9-10 years to get doctorates, so Shaq did well!


justchilln

CONGRATS, SHAQ!!!! I SALUTE YOU. NOW YOUNG KIDS CAN HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO INSTEAD OF JUST PLAYING A SPORT.

YOU ARE A TRUE INSPIRATION!!!


bunny2938

Great! Congrats Shaq!


NicNasty032

Most people don't have one so why is a time period even relevant?


Wurunga

Get it, Shaq.

Go to YouTube and search for me, WURUNGA.


mabeline

Congratulations Dr Oneal.



MISSKAYDA

CONGRATS SHAQ!! 4 years is NOT long for a PHD. Of course 4 years is a long time for MTO....these dummies barely made it through high school. UGGHHH


IJimmyChoosU

Congrats shaq!!!!!!!!....Follow me on instagram IJimmyChoosU will follow back


Geo1989

Pay for your own personal professor pay for your A in the class. If i was rich and famous and flew my professors out on luxury stays to teach me one on one, I would have a a doctorate too! Just because your rich Shaq it doesn't mean your smart.


yeauhhuh

so...Hoopz when are you going to get yours? Impress somebody already.


Tagirl25

A PHD can take 3 years for someone without a job. It's not like undergrad school or even grad school. It's a process. So for him to finish in 4 1/2 years with the type of job that he's had/has is impressive. I'm impressed.


IriAstarte

congrats Shaq!! Like the Hodgetwins would say:" He's doing his THANG!!".


ianakanumbers

Congrats to Shaq on earning his degree - well-deserved.


The Wonder

Congrats Dr. O'Neal!!!


chococherry

Of course it only took him four years, he's Shaq so sure they made it happen, I'm mad at what hoopz got on.


ISIS

Congrats Dr. O'Neal. So what he did it . It is never to late to educated yourself . MTO staff needs to educated them self since they cannot spell.
