The first U.S. President to graduate from a college was George Washington, who graduated with a surveyor's license. This is not considered a college graduation in terms of today's standard since this school was indeed a trade school.

The next president to graduate from an institution was John Adams, our second president. He graduated from Harvard College (now called Harvard University) in 1755.
