3. Nigerian Americans
Although Nigerian Americans who rank third in our list of most educated ethnic groups in America are not abundant in the nation, they are educated to a greater extent than the white population. Chron reports that 58% of this ethnic group has a college degree of some sort. Breaking it down, 37% Nigerian Americans have bachelor’s degrees, 17% have master’s degrees and 1% have doctorate degrees. Quite impressive, considering that the corresponding number for whites in the country is merely 28%. This data is further corroborated by the surveys conducted by Rice University and the Houston Chronicle (as reported by Bet), confirming the fact that Nigerian Americans are in fact highly educated.
