In 2016, the Utah State Board of Regents adopted a 10-year strategic plan, including two specific goals related to students' participation in and completion of higher education: first, that 75% of Utah's 12th graders would enroll in post-secondary education within five years of high school graduation by the year 2025; and, second, that degree productivity at institutions within the Utah System of Higher Education would increase to 28 awards (i.e., certificates or degrees) per 100 full-time equivalent students by the year 2025. This Issue Brief explores the current patterns of higher education participation and completion in Utah.
