The team here at Talent Management has always loved Tyra Banks, not only for her efforts towards diversity in the modelling industry, but also for her sheer ambition and determination to become a business mogul.

But, while we’ve never doubted that the former model, and of course host, judge and executive producer of America’s Next Top Model (ANTM), clearly knows a thing or two about business, some have.

Well now the 38-year-old has proof that she’s not just a pretty face having just graduated from Harvard Business School.

Banks, who enrolled in the Owner/President Management Program in 2010, posted this Twitpic of herself with her diploma, along with the following: “Smiling ear2ear on the Harvard Business School campus w/ my diploma! Tnx 2 my fab photographer mama 4 the pic!”

Not only has lady known for being one of the original Victoria’s Secret Angels graduated, it seems being the founder of Bankable Enterprises made her one of the impressive students to her professors.

The ex-model recently told Business Week: “My marketing professor Rohit Deshpande is now doing a case study on my business, so I’m now going to be part of the Harvard Business School curriculum.”

Baring in mind Banks has been busy promoting her book Modelland, working on America’s Next Top Model, presenting her own talk show and managing her production company, we think graduating from a course at Harvard is beyond impressive.
