BOSTON (AP) — Wyclef Jean (ZHAHN’) is going back to school to earn a degree from Boston’s Berklee College of Music.

The former frontman for The Fugees said Friday that the school has a program flexible enough for his needs and plans to attend his first class Monday.

Jean’s first class is on Monday. His curriculum this fall includes ear training, theory, improvisation and guitar.

The Haitian-born hip-hop artist says that he left college after only one semester to pursue his career and that going back to school has always been a goal.

The 36-year-old is scheduled to release a remix CD on Nov. 10.
