Critics are taking exception to Tyra Banks claims of being a Harvard Business School graduate, when all she completed was a 9 week course.
Tyra Banks famously graduated from Harvard Business School earlier this year. But today she came under fire from critics who have taken issue with the fact that the qualification is not a ‘proper’ degree.
The supermodel, 38, has never suggested that she has anything other than a ‘diploma’ from Harvard.
However even the word 'diploma' might be a stretch, as Ms Banks actually earned a ‘Certificate of Completion’ for her nine-week course in the university’s Owner/President Management non-degree extension program.
While these classes are offered through Harvard Business School’s extension school, the head of the program has stated that it is ‘very different from a full-time M.B.A degree program,’ which would take two years to complete.
Nor do the classes come cheap. OPM 'clients' are required to complete three three-week units, at an ear-ringing $33,000 per unit.
That’s nearing $100,000 for the privilege of attending classes on campus.
The revelation regarding Ms Banks's Harvard qualification was revealed in a biting report on Jezebel, criticizing the model's ‘habit of making misleading public statements about her studies.'
It read: 'She ought to just tell the truth.’
The article goes on to say that ‘Tyra Banks is an accomplished businesswoman. There is no reason to embellish her achievements. A Harvard Business School graduate she is not.’Jacked from The Daily Mail

Poor Tyra, you know you aren't a graduate!!!!!! I am in a "regular school" master's program and I am "regular" enough to know that you don't have a degree, STOP!
It's embarrassing, really
Anyone can get that - not only does Harvard offer those classes but so does Princeton, M.I.T, Stanford, Brown, etc.....
Harvard get over yourself! She did complete courses offered by you at your high fallootin school with those ridiculously HIGH ASS PRICES and your DID give her that certificate from your IVY LEAGUE STUCK UP ASS. And you sure DID ACCEPT her money! I don't blame her 1 bit for bragging about being a Harvard grad!
Stop offering those kinds of courses if you don't want students who attend and complete to call themselves Harvard Graduates. You Greedy Stuck Up Harvard Bastards!

Yeah! They are not so PRESTIGIOUS to refuse her money or anybody elses for that matter.
HYPOCRITES!
Overpriced Snobs shading their own student attendees.
She has an official document with the school seal stating she successfully completed their academic program. As far as I'm concerned, she IS a Harvard Business School graduate.
They took her money now they are putting her on full blast. Everyone already knew that she did not get a degree for Harvard.
It not right, unless it's white! Blacks will always be the white mans damn fools!
Isn't this old news? I swear I read about this last year.
Tyra never claimed to have a degree from Harvard. I remember her saying it is a certificate quite clearly.
one word "WOW"
