*Venus Williams can now add college graduate to her career accomplishments.

The tennis star has earned a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration from Indiana University, according to E! Online. She enrolled in the school’s online degree completion program back in 2011.

Williams, currently in the second round at the U.S. Open, picked up her diploma in person at the Richmond, Ind. campus in August, while on her way to a tournament in Cincinnati.

“I’ve learned so much,” Williams stated in a press release. “It was always my dream to have a business degree, and I ended up going to art school so many times, but in the back of my head I felt like I needed the tools to be a better leader, to be a better planner, to be better at all of the things I wanted to do in my businesses because I’m so hands-on.”

Williams will put that diploma to work in her multiple endeavors, which include her own clothing line, interior design firm and even co-ownership of the Miami Dolphins football team.

The 35-year-old also earned an associate degree in fashion design from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale in 2007.
