Shakira is an international star, a businesswoman and a mother-of-two, but she is still finding time to further her education.
The singer revealed on Instagram that she completed University of Pennsylvania's "Ancient Philosophy: Plato & His Predecessors" four-week course in a post featuring her certificate on Thursday.
"I know... my hobbies are very impractical, but it took a lot of hours after the kids were asleep," she wrote in the caption of her post. "Thank you Plato and predecessors for all the "fun" over the past month!"

She also supports education in her philanthropy work as well, creating the Pies Descalzos Foundation in 1997 to help underprivileged children get access to education and more opportunities in Colombia.
"We seek to contribute to the quality challenges of educational infrastructure, teaching and innovation processes that are currently facing Colombia and Latin America," the organization's mission statement reads.
In December 2019, the organization announced a 3-year partnership with Education Above All Foundation to bring 54,000 children in Colombia access to education.
Shakira also has a US-based nonprofit, The Barefoot Foundation, to support increasing learning opportunities for children.
