Senator Rand Paul has claimed for years that he has a degree in Biology from Baylor University:
“I have a biology degree, okay?”
– Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), in remarks at the Lincoln Labs “Reboot Congress” conference, Feb. 12, 2015
He made the claim twice in the same day. He also mentioned a degree in English:
Arrington: “Let’s talk about economics because maybe you can actually explain this to me. I have an econ degree which means I know just enough not to understand any of what our government is [inaudible]”
Paul: “Mine’s in biology and English so this is going to be a great conversation.”
Rand Paul never graduated from Baylor University. He was there for three years, but left before he completed an undergraduate degree. Somehow he was still able to get into Duke University's Medical School–which, at the time, didn't require an undergraduate degree. The policy has since changed and undergraduate degrees are required.
His staff responded to try and put a damper on the controversy:
“It is unfair to give Senator Paul 3 Pinocchios because a M.D. Degree is the study of biomedical sciences according to the Duke University School of Medicine. In other words, a M.D. is a biology degree. Merriam-Webster defines biology as ‘a branch of knowledge that deals with living organisms and vital processes.’ Dr. Paul never said he had an undergraduate degree in biology, and it is accurate for him to say that he has a biology degree. You are making inferences from his statement that are unwarranted. It is common knowledge that the study of medicine is the study of human biology, and a MD has a doctorate degree in one area of study of the science of biology.”
apples and onions there is no way a legitimate degree can be misstated especially by the one who earned it they worked hard and are proud only an ego maniac would embellish is credentials when it's researchable.
this is the same guy who fraudulently self certified himself when he couldn't be legally and now he wants to be your president if that happens how will he tell that story? he is the perfect republican candidate he's a liar a fraud and participates in the war on women. did he ever apologize to her? don't forget he plagiarized and admits it.
