In addition to acting and singing, Bridgit signed a deal with Target to release a clothing line inspired by her character on Good Luck Charlie in 2012. She also worked with Clean & Clear to endorse their dermatology products.

Bridgit announced via X (formerly Twitter) in February 2024 that she had become the CEO of Northwood Space, a startup hoping to create a "data highway between earth and space."

Where Did Bridgit Mendler Go to College?

Bridgit enrolled at the University of Southern California in the early 2010s. She told USA Today at the time, "My plan right now is just to do one class at a time and see how that goes. I'm just going to study something that will be interesting and doable from the road and just take care of my general education courses for now. I want to know something outside of what I do." The actress ultimately chose to study anthropology and graduated with a degree in the field in 2016.

Her post-secondary education didn’t stop there.
