Papa Knowles To Be A Teacher!

Media mogul Mathew Knowles will be teaching a course on the campus of Texas Southern University this fall.

Knowles, the president and CEO of Music World Entertainment, is best known as the father of Beyoncé and Solange.

Knowles will teach an undergraduate level course this fall entitled "The Entertainment Industry" through the TSU School of Communication.

Knowles has garnered many awards for his achievements in business and the music industry and was named the "2007 International Executive of the Year" by the Greater Houston Partnership. He received an Honorary Doctorate from his alma mater, Fisk University, and is on the Board of Governors for the Recording Academy of Texas.

Knowles graduated from Fisk University in 1974 with dual degrees—a BA in Economics and a BS in Business Administration.

He once taught a course at Fisk.

"Students who take Mr. Knowles’ class will truly benefit from the many relationships forged with the School of Communication," said Dr. James Ward, dean, TSU School of Communication. "Our goal is to provide these students with such a well-rounded experience that they will graduate on the cutting edge of the entertainment and recording industry."

MWE is the brainchild of Knowles and the management behind the success of Grammy Award-winners Beyoncé and global phenomenon Destiny's Child, the most successful "girl group" in the history of pop music.

Under the leadership of Mathew Knowles the members of Destiny’s Child; Beyoncé, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland launched solo careers that marked international success stories.
