The high school senior recieved her college diploma today during Florida Atlantic University's graduation ceremony [1] and will graduate from FAU High next Friday, a week later, the Sun-Sentinel reports.
"I know that sounds weird, but just by nature of it, college graduations are sooner than high school graduations," FAU High Principal Tammy Ferguson told the Sun-Sentinel.
Bush earned college credit from Florida Atlantic University while a student at FAU High, which allows students to take college courses for free as part of the state's dual enrollment programs.
According to the Sun-Sentinel, "Bush is FAU's youngest graduate this year and one of the youngest ever. Since FAU opened 50 years ago, 10 students aged 16 or younger have received a bachelor's degree."
Along with her siblings â€" many of whom also graduated from FAU at a young age â€" Bush was home-schooled before entering FAU High. Bush first enrolled when she was 14 years old and "has taken a full load of classes every semester since, including summers," the Sun-Sentinel reports.
Bush apparently has no plans to slow down her academic progress. After majoring in criminal justice with a 3.81 GPA from FAU, the new college graduate plans to work towards a masters degree this fall and â€" after studying for the LSATs this summer â€" eventually enter law school.
