I probably should've said the most common degree is engineering.

Still, I'm surprised at that. Thanks for posting the link!

Looks like only a third of CEO's have an MBA. Of course, that's the largest percentage of anyone particular degree (but it's also possible to have both that and another, such as engineering).

It's also interesting though to note the change in percentage of business admin and engineering CEO's as your move from the top of the S&P500 to the bottom.
