Correction(s) Date May 23, 2025: Because of a data processing error, information about some respondents’ first bachelor’s degrees was missing from the 2021 NSCG data file. This information has been restored and resulted in changes to other related educational history variables, including undergraduate financing information. In an unrelated error, the derivation of three location variables (RESPLO3/RESPLCUS/RESPLOC) was corrected.
