The Graduate
Buffett attended the Wharton Business School at the University of Pennsylvania for two years, before transferring to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1950. He earned a bachelor's degree in business administration, and then enrolled at Columbia Business school for his master's in economics—partially on the knowledge that Benjamin Graham, the author of his favorite investment book, was a professor there.
