United States: Bachelor's degree or higher educational attainment in 2000 (by origin)

A study from Pew Research Center in June 2012 showed more than 80 percent of Indians were holding college or advanced degrees,[46] surpassing the previous Taiwanese American average figure of 74.1%. Taiwanese American men still attained the highest bachelor's degree among men at 80.0% but only 68.3% of Taiwanese American women had attained a bachelor's degree, with Indian American women having the highest percentage among women of all ethnicities and Indian American men being second only to the Taiwanese American men. 39.1% of all Taiwanese in the United States possess a master’s, doctorate or other professional degree, which is nearly four times the national average[47][48] compared with 40% of Indians who have a master’s, doctorate or other professional degree, which is five times the national average.
