RHONY alum Alex McCord graduates with a master’s degree in psychology from a UK university
REAL Housewives of New York alum Alex McCord graduated with a master’s degree in professional psychology.
She got her degree from the University of New England in Australia.
Alex captioned photos of her diploma, which she received earlier this month: “Call me master (not mistress).”
She also earned the accolade for Vice-Chancellor’s Scholar “in recognition of outstanding endeavor and excellence in academic performance.”
The certificates also revealed Alex’s legal first name is actually Sara.
In 2014, Alex, who was a RHONY OG, moved from Brooklyn to New South Wales Australia.
Alex’s husband, Simon, is originally from Australia.
The move was apparently predicated on Simon getting a law degree.
Because of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, Alex was not able to accept her degree with the normal pomp and circumstances.
Simon tweeted: “The boys and I wanted to celebrate this amazing achievement of Alex’s by watching her walk across the stage to be conferred her Master’s degree but like so many others have experienced 2020 graduations are not what any of us expected.”
“What I do know is that nothing will stop her from accepting her PhD in person.
“We are so proud!”

Alex responded on social media, thanking her husband: “I could not have achieved this without your incredible support!!!
“Could not have done it without you in my corner.”
Back in 2014 Alex made a statement to Bravo about relocating to Australia: “It’s the perfect time for the extended family to enjoy each other. We both love New York City, and Brooklyn specifically, almost as much as each other; however, we’ve been there, done that and written the book — literally — on raising Little Kids in the Big City.
“It’s now time for a new adventure.”
