Beauty and brains! Eva Longoria had a whirlwind week in Cannes and has now topped it off with a big accomplishment: graduating with a master's degree at California State University.
"Big day today!!!" the former Desperate Housewives star tweeted on Wednesday, May 22. "Very excited to graduate for my Master's degree in Chicano Studies! You're never too old or too busy to continue your education!"

Longoria's former costars and friends quickly congratulated her on the news.
Marcia Cross tweeted, "Huge congratulations on your graduation today!!!! From Canne to Cap and Gown. You are really something. Xoxo m." Bill Rancic wrote, "Congrats Eva!"
Jane Fonda, who attended Longoria's charity event at the Cannes Film Festival wrote of how inspired she is by the actress on a blogpost.
"She does these things with such ease and grace," Fonda wrote, noting that Longoria left Cannes early Wednesday morning to return to California for her graduation.

Longoria, 38, also holds a Bachelor of Science degree in kinesiology from Texas A&M University.
According to California State University's website, Chicano Studies is a "field that advances a critical understanding of the Chicana/o and Latina/o experience in the United States. Courses reflect a multidisciplinary approach to the understanding of Chicana/o and Latina/o histories, politics, culture, language and education."
While her exact class schedule isn't known -- Longoria seems to have been treated just like any other student in the program. In an interview at the beginning of May with E! News, Longoria said that she was hard at work on her thesis.
Why not just hand out a Ph.D?
Did she wear panties?
what she received was not an education.
Hmmm... a degree in self-study
I’m guessing “Chicano Studies” has less to do with a serious study of Latin and Central American history and peoples and more to do with training people to be pissed off at America.
Was it a Masters in Puddle Piddling or Panty Passing???
IOW a junk degree in illegal alien studies.
Mexican-Americans
Believe in education
So they go to night school
and take Spanish
and they get a B
It's not JUST Chicano Studies, she got much more out of this.
She minored in basket weaving.
I got one of those in my last Cracker Jack Box. I threw mine away.
And her family history is full-blown Texan. Her family has been in Texas since it became independent.
Evidently, her thesis was titled “Keeping a dry back while swimming the Rio Grande”.
