Tyra Banks has revealed that she has been studying a business programme at Harvard University for the past year.
The supermodel and TV presenter told CBS News: "I get mixed reactions. There are little facial expressions, the chin goes back, like, 'Really?'" .
"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."
Banks spoke about her decision not to go to college after she had finished school, in order to pursue a career in modelling.
She said: "The day that I put college on hold because I got discovered to go to Paris and try this whole modelling thing was one of the most difficult decisions of my entire life."
The 'America's Next Top Model' host added that her studies have already changed how she runs her business.
She continued: "I think I could've leaned on all of my advisers. I have accountants, and lawyers, and this and investment bankers.
"But I don't want to be that girl when I'm meeting with them, where I'm like, 'Uh-huh, great.' I now can say what's the net present value on that, what's the discounted cash flows of that, and that's because of Harvard."
