Former Victoria Secret Angel and supermodel Tyra Banks is heading off to school — at Harvard University.

The 37-year-old model turned entrepreneur is enrolled in the Harvard Business School and is taking an executive education course geared towards entrepreneurs. According to reports from The Boston Herald, Banks has been seen all around Boston with her Wall Street investment baker boyfriend, John Utendahl.

Banks is the leading lady of her own career. She built a $90 million brand from her own entertainment company, Bankable Productions. Banks produces the CW’s “America’s Next Top Model” and co-produces ABC’s “True Beauty”. Also, she recently signed with Random House to publish three novels this year.

The last time Banks was in a classroom (for non-modeling or public speaking purposes) was 20 years ago. The model graduated from Immaculate Heart High School in 1991 before leaving the United States for Paris to pursue her dreams as a runway model.
