Goal 2025:

To increase the proportion of Americans with high-quality degrees and credentials to 60 percent by the year 2025.

21st Century Students

• Of the 17.6M undergrads now enrolled 75% are juggling work, family, and school

• 36M Americans aged 25-64 have started college, but have no degree

• There are chronic attainment gaps among racial/ethnic groups, and socio-economic status

Today, we are more educated than ever: In 1973, 28% of jobs were held by workers with postsecondary education. By 2020, that number is

projected to be 65%
