Cat Gets MBA Degree From Online College

PHILADELPHIA -- Colby Nolan (pictured, left) is probably the first animal to hold this distinction -- an executive MBA from a university.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Jerry Pappert isn't amused, since Colby is a pet cat and a Texas-based online college allegedly gave the feline a degree for $399.

"I filed this lawsuit to stop a massive illegal spam campaign that not only defrauded consumers and employers, but damaged the reputations of numerous Pennsylvania businesses across 24 counties and a government office," Pappert said Monday.

Pappert's office used the pet cat to investigate an alleged scheme designed to promote and sell bogus online academic degrees.

For an additional $99 fee, investigators said the agent requested the cat's transcript. The document arrived with Colby's graduation date, student number and a GPA of 3.5.

They used to say if you had an MBA the world would beat a path to your doorstep.

Not anymore.

I'll bet you read "The Bell Curve" too!

Not every cat has an MBA.

Yeah, most are just undergrads.

guess that shows he's at least as smart as a domesticated animal.

The cat's GPA was 3.5. The chimp had a C average.
