Is There A Doctor In The House? Celebs With A Doctorate Degree

- By

Bill Cosby

While Bill Cosby has made millions of people laugh with his comedy routines, he’s always spoken seriously about the importance of education. Before he became America’s favorite television dad, Cosby earned his doctorate in education from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. He enrolled as a part-time student, and his dissertation discussed the use of Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids as a teaching tool in elementary schools in 1977. Cosby’s road to higher education was a rocky one. He dropped out of school after flunking 10th grade three times and eventually earned his GED while enlisted in the Navy.
