Meet the Teen PhD: How Dorothy Jean Tillman Became an Academic Prodigy





Dorothy Jean Tillman, an 18-year-old from Chicago, achieved remarkable academic success, earning a PhD in integrated behavioral health from Arizona State University at just 17. Guided by her mother, Jimalita Tillman, who began home-schooling her at age seven, Dorothy Jean's journey includes a bachelor's degree at 12 and a master's at 14.
