    This is great. Good for her! Sounds like she got a lot out of her program. Of course, the question everyone wants to ask her is where she's going for her masters. :)

    She just lost in the first round. Proof that online education sucks.

    Arnold Schwarzenegger received his B.A. from the University of Wisconsin-Superior by correspondence.

    Quote from above reference:

    Longoria managed to make time during her busy acting schedule to spend the last three years studying and taking classes in person to earn this honorary degree from CSUN, according to TMZ.

    It does not sound like it is an honorary degree based on the rest of the story. Maybe the author does not understand academic terms.

    She lost the quarter final if you are referring to the US Open singles..

    It was definitely an earned degree, Ian. I've read that from more than one source. It would indeed seem, as you suggest, that this author is not clear on the meaning of "honorary." As we both know, one does not spend 3 years studying and taking classes (in person or otherwise) for an honorary degree.

    Yay Eva! :smile:
