DOCTOR Shaquille O'Neal-Congrats

O'Neal graduates with a 3.81 grade point average and he completed 16 courses mostly using satellite classrooms and video conferencing, the university said.

Give me a fucking break
 
They should call his ass The Big Focus. Dude be going after shit, and accomplishing it. Congrats, indeed.:cool:
 
He's studying African guitar next.

You are jealous of African guitarists, aren't you? Well, if he wants to learn, there are a lot of excellent African guitarists right here in the US like Huit Kilos, Nene Tshaku, Papa Lokassa who can give him excellent education, rather than the bullshit he just got from Barry University...
 
Props to Shaq but I seriously doubt the validity of his degree. lol....

Still gets props, very positive brother.
 
Dude paid for his masters and doctorate
And I wouldn't doubt his regular degree.

I heard him talking about it about three months ago, now all of a sudden he has it?
 
No hate at all, Im a big Shaq fan but I hate when celebs get degrees because it's easy for them. Theres no way I could get my degree like Tyra and Shaq did. That shit is basically paid for by them. It just pisses me off when celebs do that shit and its so easy, but if u and I do it we have to bust our asses. I watched my mom get her Degree working at 3am and taking classes in the AM and interning in the evening. So, excuse me if I don't give a shit if Shaq buys a degree.

I'm sorry fellas, I really mean no hate, it just bother me:angry:

You have a good point, but then again, there are a lot of these dubious universities selling online degrees....

I think we all know that to be true.

That being said, he could be in the news for beating up his gf, or a bar fight or some other dumbness.

I feel ya though cause I was like ya moms, I had a school year where I slept at work on 3rd shift. Had my CC stolen by juveniles on my unit.

(That was the worse morning for the those kids, gave them hell lol)
:lol::lol:

Yeah man, I was just talking to my cousin a few months ago, about some of the stuff he did to get his doctorate

And this dude just pops up with one all of a sudden.

If he was really working towards his doctorate he would have been saying he was working towards it years ago, not being a sheriff and all that other bullshit. You're not insulting MY intelligence with that shit.
 
Once you have a good woman by your side...one that promotes peace and happiness....not the one that promotes strife and discourse

That man usually has a clear enough mind to pursue and acheive....
 
Am I missing something? The story says that he spent 4.5 years pursuing the degree, but cats are making it seem like he just popped up with one. What am I missing?

Everyone talking about the validity of the degree needs to really think about how at Universities like Harvard and Yale

There is grade inflation a B magically get turned into an A on transcripts and they rarely give out C's because rich mommy and daddy may stop giving to the school....

So what do you call a valid degree when that bullshit is going on, esp at the Ivy League schools?
 
I may have missed it, but WHO on here has evidence that he didn't EARN this?? not TALK, but evidence... I heard about him working on this 3.5 years ago... Again, bullshit degree, maybe, but... .what degree ain't bullshit. The smartest woman I've ever met wasn't in undergrad, or MBA school, but a physics 'professor' at a community college where I took a non-credit summer class during undergrad years.

It does not mean much...What was his desertation?

Remember, there is a system to college education:

The Bachelors degree is designed to teach you the fundamental principles of a subject

The Masters degree is designed to specialise you in one are of that subject to the fullest extent of the known knowledge

The PhD is allow you to make an original contribution to your area of study;

The most important area of the PhD is the desertation, otherwise PhD level courses themselves are the same as Master level courses.

If he did were 16 classes, or 48 credit hours, why did they give him a PhD?

I did 39 credit hours plus a Theses for my Masters degree, why am I not seeing the wisdom in what Shaq has done??? I had to sit in every single class I did, take quizzes, do homework, write exams in front of a professor, and do labs in a lab environment...

How can you do a PhD by correspondence? I have cheated for 2 women and 1 man in my life; one woman whom I took classes for, the other I wrote all the papers for. The guy came from a French speaking West African country, was having a hell of a time with English, and the only way he got his As was that I wrote all his homework and papers at UT Arlington for him. The bitch is now an arrogant pharmacist in Houston, married to a white woman, driving a 2010 Mercedes Benz, and behaving as if he is the one who crossed the ocean in a single engine plane in 1927. I do not talk to the bitch.

So, you're going on the assumption that he had NO college credits to begin with?

Curious, what do you do?
 
Whats the big deal? Will it put money in his pocket? Education is a TOOL.Too many people(especially black folks) overate it as an ACCOMPLISHMENT instead of looking at it as a TOOL.
