Does James Franco really have four master's degrees and two PhD's?

 

James Franco’s got a serious case of academic overachievement, but let's clear up the myth. He doesn't have four master’s degrees and two PhDs, but he’s still pretty damn impressive.

Franco has earned multiple graduate degrees. He completed an MFA in Writing from Columbia University, an MFA in Filmmaking from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and a Master's degree in English from Brooklyn College. Additionally, he earned an MFA from the Warren Wilson College in North Carolina.

As for PhDs, he pursued a PhD in English at Yale University and also attended the University of Houston for a doctoral program in literature and creative writing. However, there's no public record of him completing these PhD programs.

So, while Franco doesn't quite have the six advanced degrees some folks think, he's still juggled more education than most of us can handle. Balancing his acting career with such intense academic pursuits is pretty fukcing impressive. Franco’s thirst for knowledge and relentless pursuit of education show he’s more than just a Hollywood star—he’s a bona fide intellectual adventurer.
