Ciara<\/a><\/strong> will soon be one, two stepping her way through the hallowed halls of the prestigious Harvard University Business School. According to People<\/em><\/a>, she was accepted into Harvard’s Business of Entertainment, Media and Sports program<\/a> and will attend classes in Cambridge, Mass.<\/p>\n

Entertainment, media and sports essentially epitomizes her relationship with the pop culture world. She just launched her own company called Beauty Marks Entertainment<\/a>, 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<\/a>, which is also called Beauty Marks<\/em>. This is her seventh album total.<\/p>\n

She’s no amateur when it comes to media, either. For instance, she hosted<\/a> Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve<\/em> party in Los Angeles. Ciara also knows how to make all of our hearts melt when it comes to her kids Future Zahir Wilburn<\/strong> and Sienna Princess Wilson<\/strong>, whether that’s bringing Future as her date<\/a> to the 2019 Billboard Music Awards<\/a><\/strong> or posting pictures of Sienna<\/a> with her dad Russell Wilson<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old is inherently intertwined with the sports world because Wilson is the quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Ciara will need to ready herself for some classic grad school moments, such as working on group projects and taking a look at some case studies. Some of these studies include “Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson<\/strong>, Hamilton: An American Musical<\/em>, MRC’s House of Cards<\/em>, and The Walt Disney Studios.”<\/p>\n

According to their website<\/a>, the program will “examine best practices and winning strategies in the worlds of film, television, publishing, music, and sports.”<\/p>\n

Harvard Business School offers<\/a> “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.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Ciara joins an impressive list of fellow celebrities who have attended Harvard, including Barack Obama<\/a><\/strong> (and Malia Obama<\/a><\/strong>), Conan O’Brien<\/a><\/strong> and Natalie Portman<\/a><\/strong>. I Am Jazz<\/em> star Jazz Jennings<\/strong> shared on May 14 that she, too, will be attending Harvard<\/a> in the Fall.<\/p>\n
