Country music superstar George Strait has roped an honorary degree.
Strait was given an honorary doctorate of humane letters by his alma mater, Texas State University, in a private ceremony Friday in San Marcos, Texas. He graduated in 1979 with a bachelor's in agriculture.
"Dr. Strait? I like the sound of that," Strait said. "I am so proud to be a graduate of Texas State University and appreciate so much that you did this for me."
