Big news for Shaquille O’Neal. Now he can add a new name to his plethora of nicknames, Doctor O’Neal. Shaq will be awarded his PHD in education this weekend from Barry University in Miami Shores, Fla, a Roman Catholic University.
Shaq put in more than four years of graduate school work, including one-on-one class sessions and completed 16 courses, 54 credit hours, and finished with a 3.8 GPA.
It should be noted that Shaq completed his undergrad from LSU in general studies and a political science minor and his Masters degree in Business administration from the University of Phoenix, all while still active in the NBA. I hope he’s an inspiration to other athletes (and regular students also) that you can still live out your dreams while securing a path to the future. Congratulations Shaq!
