She posted about the happy news on Instagram on Monday afternoon and shared a picture of herself in a Harvard sweatshirt.
“I always dreamt of going to college, but by God’s grace, my music career took me on a path that I’m so thankful for,” she wrote. “This week I got accepted into Harvard! Words cannot describe my excitement!”
Her caption went on, “Thank you @anitaelberse for a once in in a lifetime opportunity to attend @Harvard BEMS. #WhyNotHER”
Ciara tagged Harvard professor Anita Elberse, who frequently posts pictures alongside some big-name celebrities and athletes, including Chris Bosh, LL Cool J, Lindsey Vonn, Kevin Love, Will Smith and many more.
Entertainment, media and sports essentially epitomizes her relationship with the pop culture world. She just launched her own company called Beauty Marks Entertainment, which is comprised of a “business model built on fully supporting the artist, the female-led enterprise places Ciara at the forefront of forward-thinking entertainers taking an entrepreneurial approach to their careers.” If that wasn’t enough, she released her first album under her new company, which is also called Beauty Marks. This is her seventh album total.
The 33-year-old is inherently intertwined with the sports world because Wilson is the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks.
According to their website, the program will “examine best practices and winning strategies in the worlds of film, television, publishing, music, and sports.”
Harvard Business School offers “the privilege of living on campus alongside your fellow participants,” but no word yet on what Ciara’s room and board situation will be at the world-renowned university.
