Excelsior Graduate earns Master's degree. Oh yeah, she's 14 - MNomadic - 06-16-2020

Dorothy Tillman came up on this forum almost 2 years ago when she graduated from Excelsior with her Bachelor's degree:
https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-Excelsior-College-47th-Annual-Commencement-12-Year-Old-Graduate?highlight=environmental+engineering
There were comments on the thread about Excelsior being a joke if they let 12 year olds graduate. Well she has gone on to graduate with a Master's degree and is, "currently working on a book about her life, as well as helping build STEM labs for girls in South Africa." I think it's clear that she is exceptional and she provides further proof that the big 3 can be a stepping stone on to bigger and better things.

from the article
A 14-year-old from the South Side of Chicago just received her master's degree in environmental engineering.
but I don't see a master's degree in environmental engineering -- https://unity.edu/program-search/
they offer
M.S. Environmental Geographic Information Science - https://unity.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/2019-MSPS-Environmental-Geographic-Information-Science-Advising-Sheet.pdf
M.S. Environmental Science - https://unity.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/2019-MSPS-Environmental-Science-Advising-Sheet.pdf
M.S. Environmental Studies and Sustainability - https://unity.edu/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/2019-MSPS-Environmental-Studies-and-Sustainability-Advising-Sheet.pdf
so maybe one of those
from the contents of the article I'm guessing Environmental Studies and Sustainability
still impressive
