As a child George Washington Carver briefly attended a school for Black children but quickly moved beyond the basic literacy offered by the schoolmaster, who himself had a limited education. In his late 20s he obtained a high-school education in Kansas while working as a farmhand. He received a bachelor’s degree in agricultural science (1894) and a master of science degree (1896) from Iowa State Agricultural College (later Iowa State University).
