West Virginia is the least educated state in the nation -- less than one in five adults in the state have at least a bachelor’s degree. Particularly poor education levels in some West Virginia areas drag down the state rate, while some areas have above national average levels of education. Nearly 32% of adults in Morgantown, the state’s most educated metro area, for example, have at least a bachelor’s degree. While Morgantown, like West Virginia as a whole, has a lower median income than the nation as a whole, the earnings of its college-educated adults still exhibit the difference in earnings a degree provides.
 
Hate to break it to you, but every state where the land grant university is in a small town will hold this title. For example, I didn't bother looking, but I'm sure State College will be listed for PA.
