On Saturday, May 9 on a small campus in Albany, New York, comedian Jimmy Fallon received his bachelor's degree in communications. According to Wikipedia, he had enrolled at The College of Saint Rose as a traditional student, but withdrew in 1995 just 15 college credits short of his degree.
College officials reviewed Jimmy Fallon's professional work in the area of communications. His portfolio was approved as having satisfied the required course work for the degree program. What did he have to say about it?
"Finally, I convinced them that I've done enough communicating to get my communications degree — and it only took me 17 years do to it. All I can say is, Thank God I didn't want to be a doctor. That would have taken 65 years."
Personally, I really enjoyed watching Jimmy Fallon on Saturday Night Live. It's hard to leave college, but it's even harder to return. Kudos!
