He did it! Anthony Anderson is now a proud graduate of Howard University.

The 51-year-old actor shared the special moment in a series of posts on his social media page over the weekend.

He first showed off his new diploma in an Instagram post, thanking his professors and calling it “30 years in the making.”

“To quote Biggie, ‘IT WAS ALL A DREAM!'” Anderson wrote. “Words can’t begin to describe the emotional roller coaster [sic] I’m on right now. It’s literally been 30 years in the making. This spring I was finally able to complete the work to graduate from Howard University with a BFA degree from the Chadwick A Boseman College of Fine Arts! Yesterday was a full circle moment,” he continued. “It’s never too late! Things happen when they’re supposed to happen!”

He also thanked his son Nato for encouraging him to go back to school.

“It takes a village. Thank you to my son @hotboynato for inspiring me to return to school to finish my degree after he was accepted into Howard University. This is just the beginning! HU,” he wrote.

In 2018 Anthony said he initially dropped out after his junior year because he ran out of money. He was able to finish online and from home.

Actress and fellow Howard grad Taraji P. Henson gave the commencement speech.

Later that evening, Anthony showed photos and videos of him celebrating the milestone with his son and son’s friends at the club.

“When my son @hotboynato and his crew of 21 and 22 year olds took me to @brooklynonu to celebrate getting my degree.”

He added, “For the record I out drank, out smoked out lasted all of them! I’m GROWN! #justakidfromcompton #huskyandhandsome #bigzaddy #howardgrad #HU“

Now Anthony is back in Hollywood.

Congratulations, Anthony!
