- About the Degrees of Opportunity study
- This study was conducted for Capella University by independent research firm TNS NFO, the world's largest custom research group, from a nationally representative sample of 1,129 U.S. adults age 25 to 60. The purpose of the survey was to gain a statistically sound understanding of the views of American adults about the value and feasibility of pursuing higher education in adult life. The survey was conducted online from May 2 through May 15, 2006. Respondents included those with no college degree, as well as those with bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees. The quotes used throughout the study are responses to two open-ended questions asked of all survey respondents: “What advice would you give to someone who wants to get more education, but just hasn't taken the leap?” and “What difference do you think getting more education would make in your life?”
