Dear Open Christians, what are your guy’s educational backgrounds?

I know that this question will likely strike many of you as peculiar since it’s not directly related to Christian theology as prescribed by any denomination, but I’m currently reading the book “Polarized by Degrees: How the Diploma Divide and the Culture War Transformed American Politics” and in the book, author Matt Grossman (a political scientist) describes how the parishioners at Mainline Protestant denominations in the United States (such as the PCUSA, the UCC, the ELCA, the Episcopal Church, and most recently the UMC) have grown solidly more liberal over recent decades even as Evangelical denominations have become more conservative.

One of the divides to which Grossman points in explaining this divergence is the divide in the educational levels of members of Mainline Protestant denominations (very highly educated) versus members of the Evangelical denominations (much more likely to lack a bachelor’s degree).

This divergence goes hand in glove with a coinciding divergence between Americans with and without bachelor’s degrees in their acceptance of cultural changes like acceptance of members of the LGBTQ+ community and the acceptance of women in positions of authority—two topics which I suspect are frequently discussed on this subreddit.

It is for this reason, in addition to this being Reddit, that I am curious to hear from you all, what are your educational backgrounds?

For those who went to college (and possibly grad school), what did you study?
