Back to Stars Surprising Studies
Destiny's Child Michelle Williams

College Attended: Illinois State University
Studied: Criminal Justice
Michelle Willams started at Illinois State University, majoring in criminal justice as a safety net in case her singing career didn't pan out. After her sophomore year in 1999, Williams dropped school to sing background for Monica while she was on tour. Unbeknownst to the Midwestern songstress, she'd join Destiny's Child the very next year, becoming part of this generation's (arguably) most popular girl group. Instead of heading criminal investigations, Williams can lay claim to having the industry in handcuffs as one-third of the wildly successful DC.
