The Black-ish matriarch earned a degree in theater from Brown University in 1994.

Ross explained why her alma mater recognized her with an honorary doctorate.

In my degree it says I was honored because of my 'grace, talent and strong sense of self….work that combines detailed knowledge of human nature with boldness…a passion for facilitating self-expression and broadening the definition of what is beautiful…dedication to helping others particularly teenage girls, find their inner strength, confidence and pathways to satisfaction…creating common ground with women of all backgrounds… And a continued desire to push the boundaries of imagination.
