From Wiki:

After graduating from Hunter College High School in 1977, Kagan earned a A.B. in history from Princeton University, summa cum laude, in 1981. At Princeton, she wrote a senior thesis
under historian Sean Wilentz studying the socialist movement in New York City in the early 20th century.<6> Wilentz remarked more recently, "One of the foremost legal minds in the country,
she is still the witty, engaging, down-to-earth person I proudly remember from her undergraduate days."<7> As an undergraduate, Kagan also served as editorial chair of the Daily Princetonian.

She received Princeton's Daniel M. Sachs Class of 1960 Graduating Scholarship, one of the highest general awards conferred by the university, which enabled her to study at Worcester College,
Oxford University. She earned an M.Phil from Oxford in 1983.<8> She received a J.D., magna cum laude, from Harvard Law School in 1986, where she was Supervisory Editor of the Harvard Law Review
