McDonald's Hamburger University is called the Harvard of the fast food industry. In fact in China the school's one percent acceptance rate leaves Harvard in the dust.
Today Hamburger University has campuses in Oak Brook, Ill., Tokyo, London, Sydney, Munich, São Paulo and Shanghai.
More than 275,000 franchise owners and managers have completed the intense week-long training program and now have Hamburgerology degrees.
The first Hamburger University class was held in the basement of a McDonald's in Elk Grove Village, Ill.
Its first class of 15 graduated in 1961. Now the school brings in 5,000 students every year
