In 2015, the Minnesota Legislature enacted a state postsecondary educational attainment goal: 70 percent of Minnesota adults (age 25 to 44) will have attained a postsecondary certificate or degree by 2025 ("Minnesota Laws 2015 Chapter 69, Article 3, Section 6"). The law also sets 70 percent attainment goals for all races/ethnicities. To achieve this, Minnesota must close all disparities in postsecondary education by race. The legislation requires the Office of Higher Education to report annual progress towards meeting the 70 percent goal. This report updates progress towards meeting Minnesota's 70 percent postsecondary educational attainment goal by 2025. Data collected by the Minnesota Office of Higher Education, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, and the Minnesota Demographic Center combine to provide estimates of postsecondary attainment. While Minnesota overall continues to make steady progress towards 70 percent, the same trend does not hold true across all racial and ethnic groups. In order to reach 70 percent, populations of color must comprise the majority of new recipients of postsecondary awards. This report provides the year three update on progress.
