Well-known faces may start earning degrees
Many individuals who have busy schedules turn to online education as a way of attaining personal development. The same desire could be said for those who are already respected in their specific industry, but are looking to delve further.
George Washington University's School of Business announced that is has plans to launch an executive master's of business administration (eMBA) degree that will be specifically geared toward professional athletes and celebrities, according to NBC Washington.
The program, which is known as Special Talent, Access and Responsibility (STAR) eMBA will be specifically tailored for those with busy schedules.
"We are working with a very select group of professionals, who have a good deal of success and access to resources early in their careers, to become leaders and great contributors to their communities and society," Doug Guthrie, the business school's dean, said in a statement.
A number of celebrities have gotten a higher degree in an effort to advance their business savvy. This past May, Taste of Country reports that Garth Brooks received his master's degree from Oklahoma State University.
