What education and degrees does Erika Kirk have (school names and years)?

1. A small-town start that matters: Notre Dame Preparatory and early indicators of direction

Profiles report Erika Kirk graduated from Notre Dame Preparatory High School in 2007, framing that school as the origin of her academic and extracurricular trajectory before college; this detail appears in September 2025 reporting and is repeated across several biographical summaries, linking her early life to later choices in athletics and faith-based initiatives. The 2007 graduation date provides a plausible anchor for subsequent college enrollment dates reported by other outlets, but reporting varies on what she studied immediately after high school and whether she completed a degree at her first college stop, so the high school datum is firm while the immediate post‑high‑school timeline is partially ambiguous ^{[1] [3]}.

2. Regis University: basketball, enrollment years, and an unfinished chapter

Multiple sources say Erika Kirk attended Regis University in Denver and played NCAA women’s basketball there from fall 2007 through fall 2009, establishing her as a student‑athlete for roughly two academic years; this detail appears in October 2025 reporting that profiles Regis as part of her early undergraduate path. Reporting does not uniformly state that she earned a degree at Regis, and at least one outlet explicitly notes the article did not specify whether she graduated from Regis, which means Regis is well-documented as an early college stop and athletic affiliation, but its role as the site of degree completion is not corroborated ^{[4] [1]}.

3. Arizona State University: the degree completion claim most outlets agree on

Contemporary biographies and news pieces published in September–October 2025 report Erika Kirk completed her undergraduate studies at Arizona State University, earning degrees in political science and international relations; several sources cite ASU as the institution that conferred her undergraduate credentials, marking it as the place where she finished formal undergraduate education. These ASU degree claims are repeated across independent write-ups, which increases confidence that ASU is the degree‑granting institution for her bachelor’s-level studies, though specific graduation year details tied to ASU are not consistently published in the reviewed materials ^{[5] [3] [6]}.

4. Liberty University degrees: a legal studies master and ongoing doctoral study

Reporting from September and October 2025 consistently describes Erika Kirk as holding a Juris Master (American Legal Studies) from Liberty University and as a current doctorate candidate in biblical studies at Liberty University; one profile dates the master’s to 2017, while others reference the degree without a year but explicitly list Liberty as the awarding body. These repeated claims indicate Liberty University as the source of her graduate legal studies and as the institution where she was pursuing doctoral work as of 2025, though public reporting includes some uncertainty about whether her doctoral studies continued uninterrupted after personal events in 2024–2025 ^{[7] [2] [6]}.

5. What is corroborated, what remains uncertain, and why it matters

Across the reviewed sources from September–October 2025, the core claims (Notre Dame Prep 2007, Regis attendance and basketball through 2009, ASU undergraduate degrees in political science and international relations, Liberty University Juris Master and doctoral candidacy) are repeatedly reported, yielding a consistent overall portrait. The principal uncertainties involve exact enrollment and graduation years at Regis and ASU, and the current status/completion of the doctoral program, where some sources omit dates or explicitly state dates are unclear. These gaps matter for precision in biographical timelines and for readers assessing the timing and sequence of her academic credentials relative to her public roles; the available reporting provides a coherent but not exhaustively documented educational timeline ^{[1] [5] [2]}.
