Both the Republican National Convention program and official website cited that Melania Trump received a college degree in design and architecture at the university in Ljubljana, Slovenia, CBS News reported earlier this month.
"After obtaining a degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan, finally settling in New York in 1996," the website read.
