About this viz: This alluvial chart shows the highest level of education obtained by CTS participants' parents, themselves (participant), and their spouses. From this chart, we can see that many CTS participants were first generation college graduates. Almost half of the study population who completed the education questions reported that the highest degree obtained by their parent(s) was either no college or some college; however, nearly all CTS participants obtained a bachelor's degree, and many went on to pursue their Masters and/or a doctorate degree (PhD, MD, DDS, or JD).
