15-Year-Old Black Girl Becomes Youngest Student To Earn Bachelor’s Degree From Langston University In US

When Shania Muhammad received her first associate degree from Langston University at the age of 15, she made history. Meet the 15-Year-Old Black Girl who becomes the youngest student to earn Bachelor’s Degree from Langston University in US

The teenager attended Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) in the US, where she simultaneously earned a second associate degree. Shania recently accomplished another feat by receiving her first bachelor’s degree from Langston University with distinction.

Shania Muhammad has now earned a bachelor’s degree from Langston University, where she previously set a record as the youngest student to earn an associate degree.

”History was just made again for the 3rd time by a 15-year-old 3x college graduate,” her father, Elijah Muhammad, announced on social media.

The 15-year-old had already earned another associate degree before her most recent achievement, leaving her name in the Oklahoma City Community College (OCCC) archives.

The Black Wall Street Times reports that Shania earned a distinction when she left Langston. In less than three years, Shania has already earned three degrees, which is a remarkable accomplishment for any student.
