In a separate post featuring her mom, Keri, the actress wrote, “Celebrating ALL week! T MINUS ☝️ DAY AWAY FROM GRADUATION .”
Yara Shahidi studied within Havard's Social Studies & African American departments.
Though it’s unknown what she received her degree in, Yara Shahidi told Vogue that she studied within the institution’s Social Studies & African American departments, concentrating on “Black political thought under a neocolonial landscape.”
She revealed that she completed a 136-page thesis paper before accepting her diploma.
Harvard has always been the actress' dream school.
Back in 2017, Yara Shahidi told Seventeen that she “got into every college” she applied to, including Yale University, Spelman College, and Stanford University. However, she’d always had her heart set on Harvard.
“I used to have the Harvard webpage up, and I’d go through the course catalog,” she said while appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in 2018 So needless to say, this is something I’ve been planning for a long time.”
Congratulations Yara!
