Guess who graduated from NYU??


Congratulations, James Franco!


The 33-year-old actor and higher-education enthusiast graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts on Tuesday with an MFA in filmmaking.

Another graduate snapped a TwitPic of the Oscar-nominee wearing his standard-issue purple robe and black mortarboard.

In addition to Franco's most recent degree from NYU, he has a degree in creative writing from Columbia. He's currently working towards an English doctorate from Yale University; the 127 Hours star has also studied poetry at Warren Wilson College in North Carolina and most recently was accepted into the University of Houston's doctoral program in literature and creative writing. He'll begin his studies in Houston in fall 2012.

"School is a way to take my other pursuits like directing and writing seriously," he told People last year. "I go to school because I love being around people who are interested in what I'm interested in," he added, "and I'm having a great experience."

If I had the money I would do exactly what he's doing.
beatlesluv 18th-May-2011 10:31 pm (UTC)
Seriously haters fuck off. I want his money I'd have a Doctorate in Theatre, Directing, Screenplay writing, Woman's Studies, International Relations, list goes on. Good for him.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure many people, including me, would want to do that if I had lots of money and nothing else to do. That's why we're haters. Because we're jealous and poor and can't afford to go out on a Saturday night.

Nevermind. It's TwitPic. I KAN'T REED. But white balance can still be a bitch with or without the setting built into the camera. Anytime I forget to set it on mine, the colors in my photos can go wonky.

Good for him. If I had loads of cash hanging about I would probably spend a lot of my free time learning.

xkyrie_eleisonx 18th-May-2011 07:57 pm (UTC)
mte My friend at UCLA was in one of his classes and said he barely ever showed up, he's gotta be coasting by on something.
bent_ley 18th-May-2011 08:26 pm (UTC)
yeah look at what wiki says about his undergrad degree
Franco reenrolled at UCLA in the fall of 2006 as an English major with a creative writing concentration. Having received permission to take as many as 62 course credits per quarter compared to the normal limit of 19[84] while continuing to act, he received his undergraduate degree in June 2008 with a GPA over 3.5

i dont believe that
