Tyra Banks with her Harvard diploma - image sourced via @tyrabanks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The team here<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

But, while we\u2019ve never doubted that the former model, and of course host, judge and executive producer of America\u2019s Next Top Model (ANTM), clearly knows a thing or two about business, some have.<\/p>\n

Well now the 38-year-old has proof that she\u2019s not just a pretty face having just graduated from Harvard Business School.
\n
\nBanks, who enrolled in the Owner\/President Management Program in 2010, posted this Twitpic of herself with her diploma, along with the following: \u201cSmiling ear2ear on the Harvard Business School campus w\/ my diploma! Tnx 2 my fab photographer mama 4 the pic!”<\/p>\n

Not only has lady known for being one of the original Victoria\u2019s Secret Angels graduated, it seems being the founder of Bankable Enterprises made her one of the impressive students to her professors.<\/p>\n

The ex-model recently told Business Week: \u201cMy marketing professor Rohit Deshpande is now doing a case study on my business, so I\u2019m now going to be part of the Harvard Business School curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n

Baring in mind Banks has been busy promoting her book Modelland<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
