With the popularity of the American national TV show “Keeping Up with the Kardashians “, the Kardashian sisters have built powerful business empires. The youngest, Kylie Jenner, is even about to become the youngest billionaire in the world. Some people would think that they learned how to run such a business through school knowledge. But in reality, only a few members have real bachelor’s degrees, while many others skipped the classroom and chose the path of practical experience.
Kourtney Kardashian
As the eldest, Kourtney also set a good example when it came to pursuing higher education after high school. After graduating from an all-girls school with Kim, Kourtney attended Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
After her first two years, however, Kourtney transferred to the University of Arizona, which is also known for its partying students. But the eldest Kardashian sister didn’t let the beer binge distract her from her studies. Kourtney eventually graduated in 2002 with a BA in Theatre Arts and a minor in Spanish.
According to Us Weekly, Kourtney had intended to continue studying law, but she abandoned this plan after enrolling.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian was once a true “scandal queen” famous throughout Marymount High School in Los Angeles. Her reputation was so great that Kim was awarded two titles in the yearbook: “Most Likely to Find a Husband at the Million Man March (the 1995 African-American March)” and “Most Likely to Lie About Her Race.”
Kim attended a Catholic girls’ school. After graduating, she enrolled at Pierce College, a community college in Woodland Hills, California. But she dropped out shortly after. “If things had slowed down and I had time, I would have really liked to have gone to law school,” she later said.
Kanye West once claimed that his wife was enrolled in law school, but Kim’s rep later denied the information. If she does pursue a career in law, Kim could follow in the footsteps of her late father, Robert Kardashian, Sr., who was a famous lawyer.
Khloe Kardashian
Khloe Kardashian was close in age to her two older sisters, so she went to school with Kim and Kourtney at a Catholic girls’ school. But after Kim and Kourtney graduated, Khloe felt lonely and depressed about her studies.
In a blog post on her website, Khloe revealed that she was not a popular hot girl like her two sisters, so going to school was very difficult for Khloe. Her grades were also poor compared to her friends. Khloe said: “I had to struggle in school, so I withdrew from Marymount High School and forged my parents’ signatures to get into Alexandria Academy (a special school for gifted 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with artistic abilities).”
Her late father, Robert Kardashian, Sr., was outraged when he found out, but he was also impressed by the way his daughter tried to take control of her education. So Khloe’s father eventually allowed his daughter to attend the exclusive academy.
Khloe said she completed her studies with distinction and an honors degree at the prestigious academy. But after that, Khloe put her studies on hold completely: “I knew university wasn’t for me.”
Rob Kardashian
Rob Kardashian followed in the footsteps of his older sister Kourtney by enrolling in a four-year college after high school. The only Kardashian son graduated from the University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business in 2009.
Still not satisfied with his bachelor’s degree, Rob once declared: “Learning is never enough for me!” and revealed on Twitter about his decision to enroll at Gould School of Law, also at the University of Southern California (USC).
However, USC later responded in a surprising way, saying that Rob was actually “blowing” about going to law school: “We just learned about that now. Good luck to him in attending any law school he actually enrolls in.” This embarrassing expose is one of Rob’s most high-profile scandals.
Kendall Jenner
Kendall Jenner attended the same private school as her younger sister Kylie Jenner. And like Kylie, Kendall later chose to be homeschooled.
However, Kendall’s education was a bit of a mystery and little was said about her. It wasn’t until 2015, when Kylie graduated from Laurel Springs High School and held a party to celebrate, that Kim Kardashian revealed that Kendall had graduated the year before on Instagram: “Class of 2014 and 2015! Congratulations to @kendalljenner & @kyliejenner on graduating from high school!”
But Kendall’s education path stopped there. When asked about going further, the supermodel once answered Vogue magazine: “People often tell me the reason they go to college is to get a job, but I already have a job, so…”.
Not to mention, if one day Kendall feels that modeling is no longer for her, she still has dozens of other career opportunities that the Kardashian family has laid out for her. So it’s not too surprising that Kendall said she doesn’t need a college degree.
Kylie Jenner
Before Kylie Jenner entered high school, her family was already famous in America thanks to the national TV show “Keeping Up With The Kardashians”. To join her family’s showbiz career, Kylie had to stop going to school and was homeschooled through Laurel Springs School.
Despite her successful career, Kylie once told the show “Life of Kylie” that she struggled with homeschooling. She had to unfriend her high school friends on social media because she felt sad when she saw pictures of them going to prom.
Missing out on the school experience with her peers, Kylie continued her homeschooling and graduated in July 2015. She proudly showed off her diploma on Instagram.
As for furthering her education, Kylie once said: “I’ve done everything to prepare for college, so if I ever want to go to college in the future, I can go to school at any time. But right now I have no plans to do that.”
Kris Jenner
Kris Jenner, the sisters’ mother and “showman”, attended Clairemont High School in San Diego, California. At the age of 17, Kris did not pay attention to the hot boys on the soccer team like normal girls, but instead dated a man 10 years older than her.
After earning her degree, Kris Jenner quickly dropped out of school to marry attorney Robert Kardashian, Sr. She then focused on being a mother to her many young 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren, so she had no time to think about going to college.
Despite not having a prestigious degree, Kris Jenner loves to share her business acumen with her fans. In 2016, she teamed up with the Trump Tower-based Legacy Business School, becoming its face and chair of the board of directors. However, Kris later stepped down from that position after the school faced multiple fraud allegations.
