Course or Program Completion Metrics: Does the State's Funding Model Require a Metric Related to Course or Program Completion, Provide an Option to Include a Metric Related to Course or Program Completion, or Not Address Course or Program Completion at All? 50-State Comparison: Postsecondary Education Funding
Education Commission of the States
What do state policies say about how to fund postsecondary education? This 50-State Comparison answers this question by searching state statutes, state rules and regulations, enacted state budget bills, and state postsecondary education agency policies that address postsecondary education budgeting and funding. According to the content of the publicly available policies, this resource categorizes the funding models in place and identifies a selection of their underlying drivers, including student enrollment, faculty or facilities needs, completion metrics, and workforce development metrics. This comparison focuses on the course or program completion metrics. Twenty-nine states account for course or program completion metrics within their funding model for at least one institution or sector. An additional three states provide an option to include course or program completion metrics.
