IN.GOV  \nINDIANA COLLEGE COMPLETION REPORT 2021- INTRODUCTION  \nIndiana college completion rates remained strong in 2020  \nIn the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Indiana’s college completion rates mostly held steady and even improved overall for the class of 2020.  \nThe Commission is pleased to share in this report the progress that has been made by our campuses across the state over the past year. Congratulations to the graduates who worked hard, persevered and obtained their degree during so much upheaval. We applaud the swift, additional efforts of faculty and administrators, as well as the support systems for these students in helping them obtain their degrees in a year full of disruptions and difficulties .  \nDespite the improvements overall, there were instances of declines for some target populations at Indiana campuses—potentially another unfortunate and disproportionate impact of the pandemic on Hoosiers . The impact on subsequent graduating classes remains unknown, but hopefully the lessons learned over the past year will lead to additional strategies and innovations to accelerate completion in the years to come.  \nThe 2021 College Completion Report will show:  \n• How Indiana’s college graduates are faring at completing their schooling on time (within two years fora long-term certificate or associate degree or four years for a bachelor’s degree) or within an extended timeframe (within six years of beginning any degree program)  \n• The on-time and extended-time completion rates at all of Indiana’s public colleges and universities, along with demographic breakouts, persistence rates and trends over time for each institution  \n• Improvements toward closing completion equity gaps and an impetus to accelerate to reach parity across race, income and age  \nIn this year’s College Readiness Report, we shared that the college-going rate has continued to decline for highschool graduates as the value of higher education is persistently questioned. However, we continue to maintain Indiana’s push to reach its big goal—that at least 60 percent of Hoosiers have a quality credential beyond highschool by 2025.  \nLast year, we witnessed just how much security having a degree can bring. At the height of disruption in April 2020, the unemployment rate for Hoosiers with a bachelor’s degree was 5 percent, while the rate for those with a high school diploma or equivalency was 13.6 percent. It is even more critical that students who are currently enrolled persist and finish their credentials .  \nINDIANA COLLEGE COMPLETION REPORT 2021  \nINDIANA COLLEGE COMPLETION REPORT 2021- INTRODUCTION  \nDespite the challenges, the Commission is laser-focused on the objectives laid out in our strategic plan, Reaching  Higher In a State of Change. Completion has been a foundational goal for the Commission, and we’re continuing to see momentum in this priority as well as with our other priorities of equity and talent.  \nFrom the perspective of the Commission’s focus on equity and talent, Indiana has seen gains in completion for Black, Hispanic and Latino students . At four-year campuses, completion rates improved faster for Black and for Hispanic and Latino students than for the average student. Even still, it would take years to fully close the gaps at this rate. It is critical that Indiana prioritize continued collaboration and outreach at the regional level to further accelerate important gains as we grow a diverse workforce.  \nIn December 2020, the Commission released the Certificates in Indiana Report to highlight strides made in a crucial area of credential ing for Hoosiers . From increases in high school students completing the Indiana College Core to more completions of high-demand certifications by adults to start a new career or pivot to a higher paying pathway, Indiana is making progress .  \nThe pandemic spurred greater action on multiple avenues of meeting Hoosiers’ needs .
