Harvard College, I believe. Feel free to double check that, though.

Bill Gates didn't go to graduate school @ Harvard, so if you're wondering among Harvard Business School, or Law School, or something like that...it was just Harvard College I believe.

Last year, TIME had an article about Bill Gates (he was invited to Harvard to receive an honorary Doctor degree). According to that article (hopefully I did not remember the details wrong), Gates dropped out of Harvard near the end of his 4-year there and was not exactly voluntary. Apparently, he had a little brush with school regulations. He was doing something in the dorm (his company), which violated school laws. Also, around that time, one night, he went to a party somewhere in Boston, drove a borrowed car without carrying a valid license, and was caught by a police. He stayed in correction center for one night because he did not have enough money to bail himself out. Since then, he learned to carry enough cash just in case.

bill gates did not become rich just by going to business school =)
his computer skills were probably more use, as gates even describes himself as an engineer, not a businessman
