The pre-teen, Clovis Hung, is the youngest person to graduate from Fullerton College, the university said.

Hung started attending the school in Fall 2020, when he was just nine years old and his mother had pulled him out of traditional public school claiming her son was highly self-motivated and goal-oriented.

Fullerton offers “The Special Admit program” which allowed Hung to take courses at the school while he also completed the homeschool curriculum taught by his mother. Some of Hung’s professors were worried the juvenile would be intimidated by his fellow classmates due to the age difference but were surprised at how well the more traditional college students took to Hung.

Fullerton College is a public community college located in Orange County, approximately 30 miles from Los Angeles, and is a part of the California Community Colleges System.
