Where Did the Kardashians Go to College? Kourtney, Kim and More

The Kardashians have made an empire out of their famous last name, turning their tiny Calabasas Dash stores into a worldwide brand — and without any higher education! (Well, for the most part).

There is so much known about each individual family member, from Kourtney Kardashian‘s favorite way to eat a Kit-Kat to in-depth details about Khloé Kardashian‘s workout regimen. But the one thing that many Keeping Up With the Kardashians viewers still have questions about is the clan’s education. With a keen knack for business, many wonder whether any of the Kardashians ever went to business school. Who went to (and graduated from) college? What did they study and did they get good grades?

Kourtney once revealed how anxiety played a role in her college years, admitting that public speaking was never her forte. “I failed two classes in college because I was too nervous to give speeches,” she told Us Weekly. The mother of three children, who shares kids Mason, Penelope and Reign with ex Scott Disick, also had dreams of following in her dad Robert Kardashian Sr.‘s footsteps and becoming a lawyer. “I applied to law school then decided not to go,” she said in 2010.

Rob Kardashian followed his sister’s lead and went to college. His education inspired him to start the Arthur George sock line. “Socks is just a starting point to doing apparel and streetwear,” he told Vibe in 2014. “Everybody needs socks. We’ve only been around for like a year or so. We’re just a work-in-progress but it’s doing good. We’re growing.”

In August 2012, Rob announced that he had plans to go back to school and, like his dad, pursue a law degree at the University of Southern California’s Gould School of Law. However, those plans never came to fruition and USC denied that Rob ever applied to the program. Who knows — maybe one day, the father of Dream Kardashian will return to campus.

Scroll through the gallery below to find out which Kardashians went to college, where they graduated from and what they majored in!

Kourtney Kardashian

After graduating from a Roman Catholic all-girls high school in L.A., Kourtney moved to Texas to pursue a Bachelor’s degree from Southern Methodist University. The eldest Kardashian spent two years there before transferring to the University of Arizona. There, she completed her degree in Theatre Arts with a minor in Spanish and had classmates like Nicole Richie.

Kourtney once shared a fun fact about her collegiate years, revealing that she was “stung by a scorpion in college.”

Rob Kardashian

It was Robert Kardashian Sr.’s dream for his only son to graduate college. The sock mogul attended University of Southern California’s Marshall School of Business, from which he graduated in 2009. USC was also his dad’s alma mater, who then went on to obtain his law degree at University of San Diego School of Law.

Kim Kardashian

The KKW Beauty founder was going to Pierce College and working the cash register at the family’s Dash store when KUWTK came knocking. She quit shortly after. “If things slow down and I had time, I really want to go to law school — just something I can do in my older age,” she previously told Wonderland Magazine.

As of 2021, Kim isn’t officially enrolled in law school but she’s learning through an apprenticeship to become a lawyer. The state of California doesn’t require a law degree for taking the bar exam, which she plans to take in 2022. In December 2021, she passed the baby bar exam on her fourth attempt.

Kylie Jenner

After a highly publicized high school graduation party thrown by family friend Ryan Seacrest, the youngest Jenner revealed that she had no immediate plans to attend college but would instead pursue business ventures (which of course include her cosmetics company).

“I’m not going to college,” she told Interview Magazine. “I have done everything to prepare for college, so if I wanted to in the future, I could go at any time. But I’m not planning on going anytime soon.”

She continued, “If I could do whatever I wanted, I would have a successful makeup line, and I would want to hopefully start more businesses, and just be, like, a businesswoman.”
