The University of Arkansas has profiled Caroline de Simon, a graduate of Pensacola High School’s International Baccalaureate program. She has earned a bachelor’s degree and three master’s degrees in less than a decade after graduating from high school.

“College was really easy because high school put me through the ringer,” de Simon said of her experience in Pensacola, Florida. “International Baccalaureate taught me how to study, to glean the most information possible. It was very, very hard. It definitely shaped my continuing education.”

She recently earned a Masters of Science in Electrical Engineering online while working for the Albemarle Corp. The Razorbug Diploma Tour visited her a framed diploma on a stage in downtown Magnolia, Ark., where she and her family live and work.

  • In June 2024, the Razorbug Diploma Tour will travel across Arkansas for a third year in a row to deliver framed diplomas to Arkansans who studied online while living and working in their hometowns.
  • The tour is a symbolic gesture of the U of A’s commitment to serving students across our great state.
