Banks has brains!
Tyra Banks has been attending Harvard Business School since last year.
Enrolled in the Harvard Owner/President Management Program, the model-turned-mogul, 37, is intent on building her business savvy. "It's pretty exclusive," she told CBS News.

Pricey too. Banks is shelling out $31,000 a year to spend just three weeks on campus for three years. "But I feel like it is so, so worth it," she said. "In order for my company to grow and be the best, and to reach these women, and to serve them, I needed the best. So I went to the best."

The ex Victoria's Secret stunner has been interested in going back to school since dropping out of Loyola Marymount University to pursue modeling at age 17. "The day I put college on hold because I got discovered....was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life," she said.

So how do classmates react to the model-student? "I get mixed reactions," she said. "There are little facial expressions....The chin goes back, like, 'Really?'...it's like why is a model going to Harvard? But that's actually a good thing, because when people have low expectations, you're just constantly going, 'Ta-da!' And they're like 'Wow.' It doesn't take a lot to wow them."
Tell Us What You Think
9It's not hard to "get into" this Harvard Business School. They will take just about anyone who has the cash.
Wow.. Good job Tyra.. I heard it's so hard to be able to get into Harvard right.. congratz n keep up the good work..
Marie, you spelled 'Nazi' wrong. Maybe you need to practice what you preach.
I know this is mean, but Brittany please stay in school. It would be much better to say, "It teaches US as younger females . . ." Also, models must learn things at a fast PACE. This is not kindergarten and we are not gluing things together. So please think twice before you type. Yes,I am a grammar Natzi but damn. On the nerves, it grates.
well as usuall there's always someone hating on others...but im actually proud of her continuing her education>>>it teaches we younger females that we can also wait for the modeling world and further out education...Lots of ppl think models are stupid when in reality models must enhance their ability to speak and they must learn things at a fast paste....Models also use their inner and outter beauty to sell products and etc...So think twice before you talk about a model or talk about anyone...Im proud of Tyra and i hope she do well:)
Cannot stand this woman. I liked her, but after watching her talk show a few times, and model show, she has one big loud mouth!! Not the best talk show host either.
She has really scary eyes- she overdoes it with the smile with the eyes thing.
GOOD FOR HER ! Im actually really surprised ....
Good for her but I'm not surprised..she went from a supermodel, to creating and hosting her own hit series to winning an Emmy award for her talk show (which I personally thought sucked). She's obviously no idiot...you go Tyra!
