Minnesota Measures: A 2016 Report on Higher Education Performance
Djurovich, Alexandra; Fergus, Meredith; Lewin, Greg
Minnesota Office of Higher Education
"Minnesota Measures" provides a resource of accurate, timely, and comprehensive facts about higher education in Minnesota. It includes comparisons over time as well as national and peer institution comparisons. Obtaining a postsecondary credential increases economic opportunity, promotes income equality, and prepares the state to meet future workforce demands. Minnesota has an educational attainment gap across racial and ethnic groups. Key indicators confirm that this gap is not isolated to the higher education system; students of color do not succeed at the same rates as their White peers throughout all levels of the Minnesota education system. Minnesota's challenge moving forward is to successfully prepare and support underserved populations to certificate or degree completion while meeting future workforce demands in a period of changing demographics. This document is organized into two sections: (1) Preparing for and Entering College; and (2) Outcomes of College. The sections provide information on the following topics: (1) High School Academic Preparation and College Readiness; (2) College Enrollment; (3) Published vs. Net Tuition and Fees for First-Time, Full-Time Freshman; (4) Enrollment and Student Characteristics; (5) Developmental Education; (6) Financial Aid to Minnesota Undergraduates; (7) Educational Attainment of Minnesota's Adults; (8) Graduation Rates; (9) Awards Conferred; (10) Employment of Recent Graduates; and (11) Debt of College Graduates and Repayment of Loans.
