Clovis will graduate with associate of arts degrees in history, social sciences, social behavior and self-development, arts and human expression, and science and mathematics.
Yeah, well, good luck getting a job with those degrees.
He can do "science"!
I get that sometimes you get these unimaginably intelligent child prodigies, but how is it possible to do five degrees at once? Does "degree" mean something different in America? Did he not have to attend 30 hours of lectures every day? Is this a real university?
It's an associate's and not a bachelor's is what everyone is missing. He crammed 5 2-year degrees into 3 years, not an impossible 5 4-year degrees into 3 years. Especially maxed out at 11 credits a semester
These are AA degrees, which are 2 yr. degrees of general education of said subject.
To my knowledge it may be that classea were able to 'double' count for multiple degrees.
This is a real college:
Fullerton College is a public community college in Fullerton, California
Someone else earned four degrees before Clovis, his name is Jack Rico.
Clovis was just nine years old when he enrolled at Fullerton College after being inspired by another young Hornet graduate in 2020, Jack Rico, who at the time earned four degrees at Fullerton College at the age of 13. Clovis said he wanted to do the same thing. Now, he is surpassing that record and is set to earn five Associate of Arts degrees in History, Social Sciences, Social Behavior and Self-Development, Arts and Human Expression, and Science and Mathematics.
Props to him!
