Four First Ladies with Graduate Degrees

The title "First Lady" originated in the United States in 1849, when United States President Zachary Taylor called Dolley Madison "First Lady" at her state funeral. First Ladies of the United States hold the important position of supporting their Presidential husbands and being a public figure. Over the years, the role of the first lady has evolved to being a role of great power and importance. You don't need a college degree as a first lady, but here are four that have earned their advanced degree.

Pat Nixon has the distinction to be the first United States First Lady to earn a graduate degree. Following four years of study at the University of Southern California she graduated and became a teacher. Pat was hired as a teacher at Whittier Union High School, where she taught commercial classes in typing, bookkeeping, business principles, stenography and adult night classes in typing. She continued to teach for the first year of her marriage.
