Longer answer: [cited from a December 2010 report]*
"Education
As has been true in recent Congresses, the vast majority of members (95%) of the 111th Congress hold university degrees. CRS research indicates that 27 members of the House and one Senator have no educational degree beyond a high school diploma. Five members of the House, but no Senators, have associate's degrees as their highest degree, and one House member has an LPN (nursing) degree. Eighty-two members of the House and 17 Senators earned a master's degree as their highest educational degree, and 169 members of the House and 57 Senators have a law degree. Of the members holding a law degree, five (three House members and two Senators) also
hold an LLM (Master of Laws) degree. Twenty-three Representatives (but no Senators) have doctoral (PhD) degrees, and 17 members of the House and three Senators have a medical degree.
By comparison, 30 years ago in the 96th Congress (1979-1981), at least 48 members of the House and seven Senators had no degree beyond a high school diploma. Sixty-seven Representatives and 15 Senators had a master's degree, 17 Representatives and four Senators had a doctoral (PhD) degree, and 197 members of the House and 60 Senators had a law degree. Five members of the House and one Senator had a medical degree.
Forty years ago, in the 91st Congress (1969-1971), at least 45 Representatives and nine Senators had no degree beyond a high school diploma. Thirty-seven Representatives and 14 Senators had a master's degree, seven Representatives and two Senators had a doctoral (PhD) degree, 219 members of the House and 58 Senators had a law degree, and four Representatives had a medical degree.
In addition, three Representatives and one Senator in the 111th Congress are graduates of the U.S. Military Academy and two Senators and one Representative are graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy. Three Senators and two Representatives were Rhodes Scholars, three Representatives were Fulbright Scholars, one Representative was a Truman Scholar, and one Representative was a Marshall Scholar.
