“Steve Jobs never graduated from college.”
TRUE ✓

TL;DR ·Steve Jobs famously dropped out of Reed College and never earned a degree.

WHAT WE FOUND

Hello! It is actually completely true that Steve Jobs never graduated from college . While he did enroll at Reed College in 1972 as an English major, he decided to drop out after just one semester, or roughly six months . In his famous 2005 Stanford commencement speech, Jobs himself admitted, 'Truth be told, I never graduated from college' . Even though he left his formal studies behind, he didn't stop learning; he stayed on campus for about 18 months as a 'drop-in,' auditing classes like calligraphy, which later influenced the beautiful typography of the first Mac . So, while he became one of the most successful tech moguls in history, he did so without ever earning that official degree .
