Education in Seattle
Education in Seattle is an important part of many Seattleites' lives, particularly due to the high concentration of technology, engineering, and other jobs that require advanced degrees. Of the city's population over the age of 25, 53.8 percent (vs. a national average of 27.4 percent) hold a bachelor's degree or higher; 91.9 percent (vs. 84.5 percent nationally) have a high school diploma or equivalent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=S1501. Education Attainment: Seattle City, Washington )〕 In fact, the United States Census Bureau surveys indicate that Seattle has one of the highest rates of college graduates among major U.S. cities. In addition to the obvious institutions of education, there are significant adult literacy programs and considerable homeschooling. Seattle is also the most literate city in the United States based on a study done by Central Connecticut State University.
==Colleges and universities==
Seattle is home to one of the nation's most respected public universities, the University of Washington. With over 40,000 under-graduates and post-graduates, UW is the largest school in the Pacific Northwest and many of its departments are ranked in the top 10 for research universities in the United States according to the ''Chronicle of Higher Learning''. A study by ''Newsweek International'' in 2006 cited UW as the twenty-second best university in the world. Additionally, the University of Washington was ranked 16th internationally by the ''Academic Ranking of World Universities'' in 2008.〔(Top 500 World Universities (2008) ) ''Institute of Higher Education, Shanghai Jiao Tong University''〕
The city's other prominent universities are Seattle University, a Jesuit university, and Seattle Pacific University, founded by the Free Methodists. There are also a handful of smaller schools, such as City University of Seattle, a private university; Antioch University Seattle and Argosy University/Seattle provide graduate and undergraduate degrees for working adults; and others mainly for fine arts, business and psychology. Cornish College of the Arts, The Art Institute of Seattle, Gage Academy of Art and the School of Visual Concepts offer bachelor's degrees in such disciplines as dance, music, and theatre. Seattle is also served by three colleges within the Seattle Colleges District system, comprising North, Central,and South. ''Time'' magazine chose Seattle Central College for best college of the year in 2001, stating the school "pushes diverse students to work together in small teams".
Starting in 2013, Northeastern University is opening a satellite graduate campus in the South Lake Union neighborhood.〔http://www.northeastern.edu/news/2012/10/synergy-in-seattle/〕
