California 13-year-old earns 4 college degrees

FULLERTON, Calif. (KABC/CNN) – Graduating from college is a big deal, but it’s an even bigger deal for Jack Rico because he’s only 13-years-old, which makes him the youngest graduate of Fullerton College in California. He now has four associate’s degrees under his belt.

But he’s not stopping there. He’s headed to the University of Nevada on a full scholarship to get a BS in history.

So what does he want to do with all his degrees? “Well, I mean, I’m 13,” Rico said. “So I don’t want to rush everything. I’m still trying to figure it out, but I just want to focus on learning right now. That’s what I love to do.”

Rico started college when he was 11-years-old. He earned those four degrees in just two years.

When he’s not studying, Rico — like other kids his age — loves to play video games.
