Feels good to be at The Top 5%.

Bachelor’s Degree Completion

Approximately 5% of DACA recipients have completed a bachelor’s degree. This estimate is supported by a 2017 report from the Migration Policy Institute, which found that about 57,000 DACA-eligible individuals had earned a four-year degree at that time. Given that the total number of DACA recipients was around 800,000, this equates to roughly 7% . 

Some College Experience

A significant portion of DACA recipients have pursued higher education without completing a degree. According to the same Migration Policy Institute report, over 130,000 DACA-eligible individuals had completed some college but were no longer enrolled, and approximately 25,000 had earned two-year associate degrees . 

These figures indicate that while a relatively small percentage of DACA recipients have completed a bachelor’s degree, a larger portion have engaged in higher education to some extent.
