Top 10 Most Shocking Degrees Held by Celebrities

Who knew celebrities went to college? And who would’ve thought they didn’t all major in drama, theater or the performing arts? Here’s our lineup of bachelor’s degrees held by some of Hollywood’s hottest players -- these are sure to make your jaw drop!

Lisa Kudrow

Bachelor’s degree: Psychobiology

School: Vassar College

Apparently, it takes a smart woman to play dumb. In real life, the gal who played ditzy Phoebe on Friends is a brainiac.

Eva Longoria

Bachelor’s degree: Kinesiology

School: Texas A&M University-Kingsville

No wonder Eva Longoria is in such great shape! She knows exactly how her body works.

Dan Grimaldi

Bachelor’s degree: Mathematics

School: Fordham University

This is one we’d never have pegged as a math geek. The Sopranos costar also managed to pick up a master’s in operations research and a PhD in data processing.

Dexter Holland

Bachelor’s degree: Biology

School: University of Southern California

The singer and guitarist from The Offspring also has a master’s in molecular biology. Pretty fly!

Vinny Guadagnino

Bachelor’s degree: Political Science

School: The College of Staten Island

So not all Jersey Shore stars are blockheads. Vinny was studying for his LSATs and heading to law school when he hit a detour by being cast in the MTV reality show.

Will Ferrell

Bachelor’s degree: Sports Broadcasting

School: University of Southern California

After seeing him in Anchorman, we figure it’s a good thing Will decided to pursue a career in acting instead of sports broadcasting. We can’t imagine listening to Ron Burgundy all season.

Montel Williams

Bachelor’s degree: Engineering

School: U.S. Naval Academy

What do engineering and talk shows have in common? Montel Williams, it seems.

Natalie Portman

Bachelor’s degree: Psychology

School: Harvard University

“I’d rather be smart than a movie star,” she once told a New York Times reporter. Some people have it all, huh?

Kevin Costner

Bachelor’s degree: Business

School: California State University, Fullerton

Hmmm ... maybe Kev learned enough to nail his role in the new corporate-world drama The Company Men. Oh, wait, he plays a blue-collar carpenter.

Ray Romano

Bachelor’s degree: Accounting

School: Queens College

Everybody loves … an accountant?
