"words can't begin to describe the emotional roller coaster [sic] I'm on right now. It's literally been 30 years in the making."

"This spring I was finally able to complete the work to graduate from Howard University with a BFA degree from the Chadwick A Boseman College of fine  Arts! Yesterday was a full circle moment,'' he continued. "It's never too late! Things happen when they're supposed to happen!"

Finishing his post, Anderson gave a shoutout to Rashad, Dr Wayne Fredrick, Dean Denise Saunders Thomas and Courtney Bless Long for their help along the way.

"It takes a village. Thank you to my son @hotboynato for inspiring me to return to school to finish my degree after he was accepted into Howard University, This is just the beginning ! HU" he concluded.

In 2018 interview, Anthony Anderson had discussed his plans to go back to college with Jimmy Fallon.

"I was paying for college myself, and I ran out of money after my Junior year," Anderson explained. "I've been speaking to the university..... about creating a curriculum that I can take online, and at home, and do some practical classes on campus so I can walk with my son [Nathan] in 2022.

"So I have four years to finish one year of college", he added.

His graduation comes weeks after fans said goodbye to his TV character, Dre Johnson, as ABC series Black-ish came to an end.
