19-year-old heading to law school
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich. — A 19-year-old suburban-Detroit resident is on track to graduate from The University of Michigan after just a year of study.
Nicole Matisse, of Bloomfield Hills, is to officially graduate in the summer with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.
As a student at Lahser High School, Matisse had exhausted the curriculum by her junior year. Between the exams she passed on eight advanced placement courses and the eight classes she took at Oakland Community College, she had amassed enough credits to enter the university last fall as a junior.
“When I got to U-M, I only took 19 credits, and I was bored and craved more credits,” she told The Detroit News for a Wednesday story. “So even when I took 27 credits this semester, I felt I could have added even more.”
