The State : Wozniak Awarded Degree

Share

Multimillionaire computer designer Steve Wozniak finally got his college degree. Wozniak, who dropped out of the University of California, Berkeley, 13 years ago to co-found Apple Computer, received a bachelor’s degree in electrical and engineering sciences at--and delivered the commencement address for--Berkeley’s College of Engineering. In his speech, Wozniak said he has discovered that “issues are . . . more complex . . . the answers not so obvious” than they had seemed before his educational hiatus. Wozniak, 35, left Apple in a management dispute, and re-enrolled at Berkeley under an assumed name, he said, “to avoid scaring the students and professors.”
