A college-level IQ these days means something low like 100 -- you're probably thinking of a more stringent standard.

[learc83]

An IQ of 100 is supposed to represent the mean score of the general population.

The average IQ of someone with a college degree is a good bit higher than that. From a quick Google search it looks like it's around 115, which is a standard deviation higher than the general population.

[SamReidHughes]

I was referring to more of a minimum than an average.

I was under the impression among people with undergraduate degrees it was closer to 110-115.

[Joeri]

Isn't half the population below 100? How can you consider that low?

[SamReidHughes]

That's lower than half the population.

Because it's terrible.

Pretty much the same way we can consider the median personal income ($31,100 in 2016 - https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA646N ) "low". Because it's low.
