Kentucky's Degree and Credential Production, 2013-2018. Degrees and Credentials Awarded by Kentucky's Public Universities, the Campuses of the Association of Kentucky Colleges and Universities and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System
Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education
This report describes the state of Kentucky's postsecondary education degree and credential attainment between Academic Years (AY) 2013-14 and 2017-18. Using data from the Kentucky Postsecondary Education Data System (KPEDS), the report details the number and types of credentials earned at Kentucky's public universities, the campuses of the Association of Independent Kentucky Colleges and Universities (AIKCU) and the Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS). This report is set within the larger context of the Council's goal to raise the percentage of Kentuckians with a high-quality college-level credential to 60% by the year 2030. To reach this goal, the number of Kentuckians with a credential requires a 1.7% annual growth until 2030. For additional perspective, Kentucky's educational attainment is also compared to the national average. While the report shows impressive growth in degrees and credentials, especially with the gains made by underrepresented minorities, it also highlights the challenges moving forward and areas for improvement.
