Question: Which U.S. president was the last one to serve without a college degree?

Answer: Harry S. Truman was the last U.S. president to serve without a college degree. He held office from 1945 to 1953. Although he briefly attended Spalding’s Commercial College and later took some night classes at the University of Missouri–Kansas City, he never earned a formal degree. Truman grew up in Missouri as the eldest child of a farmer and livestock dealer, and after high school, he entered the workforce to help support his family.
