Ludacris Graduates From Georgia State University

Congratulations are in order for Ludacris. The 44 year old rapper just graduated from Georgia State University.

Couple of weeks back, the university announced that the Georgia Board of Regents approved awarding the artist, whose real name is Chris Bridges, an honorary Bachelor of Science degree in Music Management.

In a statement, Georgia State said that the degree honors Bridges’ support of the university’s creative media arts and law programs, his commitment to the metro Atlanta community, and his philanthropic endeavors.

After going to high school in Atlanta, Bridges took classes at Georgia State in the 1998 and 1999 before he was signed to Def Jam Records. He left without a degree, which now after multiple decades he’ll finally have.

“We are proud that Chris Bridges got his start at Georgia State,” Georgia State President M. Brian Blake said.

“He has gone on to become a cultural and philanthropic icon, representing Atlanta and giving back in many ways. Our students in the Creative Media Industries Institute (CMII) and College of Law have benefited from learning from his career, and we’re excited to honor him as a member of the Panther family.”
