If an MBA from Harvard isn't good enough, what is? Clinton, BA Georgetown, law degree Yale. As a lawyer, I'd say a law degree is better than an MBA but would Zonder agree? And which is better, Yale or Harvard? I thought Harvard was better. Besides which, Dubya has his BA from Yale, which is definitely better than Georgetown. Bush pere only a BA from Yale. Reagan only a BA from Eureka College, my guess not a top flight university. Carter only a BA from the Naval Academy in Annapolis, a very good school, I think he majored in nuclear engineering, although I believe he pronounces it "nucular." Ford, BA Michigan (a top ten state univerity) and law degree from Yale, just like Clinton, only Clinton's Yale law degree qualified him to be a genius, while Ford's Yale law degree did not. (Go figure!) Nixon, BA Whittier (I don't know anything about Whittier) and law degree from Duke, which is about as good as Tulane, which is where I got my law degree (and Master of Laws). Johnson worked his way through Southwest Texas State Teachers College. Kennedy BA Harvard. Eisenhower graduated from West Point, which I believe is considered to be more competitive than Annapolis. Truman did not obtain a college degree. Not sure if FDR did either - the official website says he attended Harvard and Columbia Law School, but not that he graduated. Hoover graduated from Stanford, a very fine university, in mining engineering. Coolidge, BA Amherst, same as Prince Albert, except that Coolidge graduated with honors. Harding, no college mentioned. Wilson had a BA from Princeton, a law degree from University of Virginia, and a Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins. Now those are impressive credentials! Especially for the times. Taft, BA Yale. Teddy Roosevelt, no college mentioned. McKinley, no college mentioned, but he read law. (That means studied it in a lawyer's office, as did Lincoln.) And that's it for the 20th century. Wilson's got the best credentials, a Ph.D. from John's Hopkins. It appears to me that Dubya's are second best, or maybe Clinton's are, depending on how you rank a Harvard MBA vs. a Yale law degree. whitehouse.gov
