College Degree Attainment in The Bahamas: ~14.7% (2010 Data)

The most recent reliable data (World Bank, 2010) indicates that approximately 14.7% of The Bahamas' population had completed tertiary education (equivalent to a college degree). This figure includes associate, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. More recent census data (2022) has not yet published detailed educational attainment breakdowns. Given economic growth and expanded higher education access (University of The Bahamas, international campuses), the current rate is likely higher—potentially 18–22%—but no official update exists. For comparison, the U.S. rate is ~38% (2022), OECD average ~40%.
