Interviewer instructions
For persons who have not graduated from high school, write the appropriate number for the highest grade or year of "regular" school completed. For persons who have attended college but have not received a degree, write 14 for "Some college but no degree." For persons who have one or more college degrees, mark the entry for the highest degree. Record the highest level of regular schooling the person has completed. Exclude vocational training, that is not creditable in the "regular" school system. See definition of "regular" school in instructions for question 9.
1. For a person now attending a "regular" school, write the number for the box for highest grade, year or degree successfully completed. For persons enrolled in elementary school or high school, including middle school and junior high school, mark the category containing the previous grade the person was enrolled in. Write 14 for "Some college but no degree" if the person is enrolled in college but has not completed a degree. If the person is enrolled in college but has completed at least one degree, mark the category for the highest degree this person has received.
2. Write 31 for "No school completed" for persons who have never attended a "regular" school or have not completed the first year attended, such as nursery school or kindergarten.
3. For those who have completed only nursery school or kindergarten thus far, write the appropriate number.
4. If the person successfully completed the 12th grade but did not receive a diploma, GED credentials or attend college, write 12 for "12th grade, NO DIPLOMA."
5. If the person reports completion of the highest level in an ungraded or foreign school, estimate the equivalent grade level in the "regular" American school system.
6. Vocational, business, and technical schools: For persons who have attended "post-graduate" high school courses or vocational or business school courses not creditable toward a college degree, after completing high school, write 13 for "HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE...." These include technical, vocational, or paraprofessional training, and training in hospital schools.
7. College: For persons who attended college, mark the box for the highest academic degree they obtained.
a. Write 15 for "Associate degree in college--Occupational program" if the highest degree was an associate degree in a program that prepared the person for a specific occupation. Course work may or may not be creditable toward a bachelor's degree.
b. Write 16 for "Associate degree in college--Academic program" if the highest degree was an associate degree primarily in the arts and sciences and transferrable to a bachelor's degree program.
c. Write 19 for "Professional school degree" if one or more degrees were earned in such fields as medicine, dentistry, chiropractic medicine, optometry, osteopathic medicine, pharmacy, podiatry, veterinary medicine, law or theology. Do not include vocational training for a trade such as barber school or cosmetology, secretarial school, trade school or bartending.
8. Do not include vocational certificates or diplomas from post-secondary vocational, trade, business, technical, hospital, or paraprofessional schools unless they were college level associate, bachelor's or master's degrees.
