A drop out too from what I read.
Not sure what sources you’ve been reading but James Franco is actually Dr. James Franco, Ph. D. He completed his doctorate in English from Yale University.
Throughout his adult life, James Franco attended many universities. Franco enrolled at the University of California directly after graduating from high school in 1996. After only a short couple of months enrolled, he dropped out, deciding to pursue his acting career. Franco moved to New York in hopes to launch his acting career. In 1997, Franco landed his first significant acting role in the television drama series, "Pacific Blue". After landing his first big gig, Franco continued to build a name for himself.
In 2006, he re-enrolled in school at UCLA, obtaining an English degree. While there, Franco was given special permission to complete 62 credits in a semester. The average UCLA student completes 19. Approved for the increased course load, Franco finished his Bachelor's degree in 2008. Franco was intrigued to dive further into the world of academia, and in 2008, moved to New York to attend Columbia University. The Golden Globe winner was simultaneously enrolled in Brooklyn College (for fiction writing), New York University's School of the Arts (for film), and Warren Wilson College in North Carolina (for poetry).
After completing those programs, Franco continued his academic quest. In 2010, he was accepted into Yale's Ph.D. English program. He was also accepted into Rhode Island School of Design's Literature and creative writing program during that time.
So, for those keeping score, the actor has a total of seven degrees.
