List Of Presidents Of The United States By Education
Most U.S. presidents received a college education, even most of the earliest. Of the first seven presidents, five were college graduates. College degrees have set presidents apart from the general population, and presidents have held such a degree even when this was extremely rare and, indeed, unnecessary for practicing most occupations, including law. Of the forty-three men to have been President, twenty-four of them graduated from a private college, nine graduated from a public college, and ten did not graduate from a college. Except for Grover Cleveland and Harry S Truman, every president since 1869 has had a degree.
