Subject: Poll Results: Education levels - growth in Ph.D, MBA groups

The previous KDnuggets Poll asked: What is your highest current education level?

About 40% of respondents had Ph.D., 35% had MA, and 8% had MBA.

Here are the results of

2007 KDnuggets Poll on highest education level.

Comparing with the results of 2004 KDnuggets Poll on Education Level, overall percent of students responders remained flat at about 18%.

Among non-students, we see increases in

  • Ph.D. in Comp. Sci./Math/Stats: (from 23% up to 27%)
  • MBA (from 6.4% up to to 7.9%)
and decreases in
  • MD/JD or other advanced degrees (from 4.5% down to 2.6%)

Among students, there is a slight increase in percentage of MA and a strong decrease in percentage of those with BA, perhaps reflecting the graduation of BA students.
