"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.
