The sprouting of the Sprouses! Former Disney stars Dylan and Cole Sprouse graduated from college on Wednesday, May 20, and the twin brothers proudly shared snaps from their special moment.
“We just graduated!” Cole, 22, wrote on his Twitter, alongside a series of photos from inside their New York University commencement ceremony. The first pic showed the brothers smiling together before the procession began, followed by two silly snaps — one of their faces covered by emojis and another candid shot. The last image featured Cole beaming beautifully while his twin made an outrageous face.

“Dylan bit me right after the last pic,” he wrote. “#NYU.”
Dylan also shared an Instagram photo from their moment, clad in their caps and bright purple gowns. “Smarter better faster stronger. Finished NYU now on to the next,” he wrote beside the outdoor pic.
It turned out that the boys are indeed smarter, even graduating with honors from their school. Cole posted a photo several weeks ago of their gold tassels emblazoned with the NYU insignia. “#Graduation coming up, @dylansprouse and I received our tassels yesterday. Both made honors!” he wrote, cheekily adding the hashtags: “#TassHoles #NotDumb.”

His proud brother also shared a close-up photo of his tassel and a letter from the school, which read: “We are pleased to enclose your gold tassel in recognition of your significant academic achievement.” Dylan captioned the pic: “#dweeb.”
The boys have come a long way since their popular Disney Channel series, The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, ended in 2008. For those who weren’t familiar with their show, the boys were also featured in Adam Sandler’s comedy, Big Daddy.
According to MTV, Cole majored in archaeology and Dylan graduated with a concentration in video game design.
