IN.GOV  \nINDIANA COLLEGE COMPLETION REPORT 2022- INTRODUCTION  \nIndiana’s College Completion Rates Continue to Improve, Progress Needed to Increase Educational Attainment  \nGetting more students to graduate has been a foundational goal for the Commission, but it’s also highly personal. When students complete postsecondary credentials, they secure greater opportunity for personal prosperity and strengthen civil society. People with a bachelor’s degree or higher earn 85 percent more per year than highschool graduates — that wage difference adds up, risking increasing economic disparities . We also know those with education beyond high school experience additional advantages such as job stability, access to benefits and a higher earning potential .  \nIndiana’s economy needs a skilled talent pipeline, which requires students to pursue and complete degrees or credentials that are affordable, high-quality and relevant to students’ future careers and the state’s economy. It starts with ensuring students have what they need to get their foot in the door. But right now, fewer students are choosing a college path (whether that’s a workforce or industry credential or a two-or four-year degree), and the state’s college-going rate is dropping. Just over half (53 percent) of Indiana’s high school graduating class of 2020 chose togo to college — a drop from 65 percent five years ago.  \nWhile Indiana’s statewide completion rates continue to improve across all campus types, the completion rate is not nearly robust enough to provide the workforce Indiana requires . Forty-five percent of all Hoosier college students graduate on-time. When given six years to graduate, nearly two out of three students do so.  \nOver the past five years, on-time completion has increased 11 percentage points . Credit is due to progress made by Indiana’s public institutions in moving the needle on student completion, as well as Indiana’s lawmakers, who have prioritized higher education funding to drive desired outcomes . For nearly two decades, Indiana has embraced a performance funding formula for public institutions that rewards colleges for improving student outcomes . The formula includes financial incentives to reward and support institutions’ efforts at graduating more of their students— and graduating more of them on time. Yes, there has been improvement in these numbers over time, but the state’s overall education attainment is exacerbated by other challenges such as the declining college-going rate, a staggering number of adults without a credential beyond a high school diploma and too many college graduates leaving the state.  \nIndiana must continue to drive progress by getting more students to graduate in the most cost-effective manner. Two additional years in college can cost $50,000 or more in lost wages, tuition and related costs . The most cost-effective degree is an on-time degree. Additionally, every year students extend the term of completing their college degree program decreases their chances of graduating. The most expensive proposition for a student is debt with no degree or credential to show for it. Some 350,000 Hoosiers have been to college but never earned a certificate or degree. We must continue to look beyond traditional approaches to education for both youth and adult learners to ensure students complete the program they started and are aware of available state financial aid programs to offset the cost.  \nINDIANA COLLEGE COMPLETION REPORT 2022  \nINDIANA COLLEGE COMPLETION REPORT 2022- INTRODUCTION  \nIndiana Statewide  \nOn-Time Completion  \n50% ~~ ~~  \n45.3%  \n45%  \n40%  \n35%  \n30%  \n25%  \n\n| |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| \u003Cbr>34.5% \u003Cbr>|  |\n| |  |\n| 23.2% | |\n\n20% ~~ ~~  \n15% ~~ ~~  \n10% ~~ ~~  \n5% ~~ ~~  \n0%  2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021   \nGraduation Year  \nOver the course of their working years, each class of Indiana public college graduates contributes $13 billi","cbCaiqQQv0zEvleh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqQQv0zEvleh","pdf",3385126,33,"English","# Introduction\n## College Completion and Educational Attainment\n## On-Time and Extended-Time Completion Rates\n## Data at a Glance: Indiana Statewide Completion","[{\"question\":\"What is the report’s main focus in 2022?\",\"answer\":\"The report focuses on Indiana’s college completion rates, showing progress while emphasizing that completion levels are still not robust enough to meet workforce needs.\"},{\"question\":\"How are completion rates improving, and what benchmarks are used?\",\"answer\":\"On-time completion has increased over the past five years, and the report uses on-time completion and extended-time completion (within six years) to measure graduation outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the report argue that more students must graduate?\",\"answer\":\"It states that earning credentials increases economic opportunity and stability, supports Indiana’s economy through spending and tax revenue, and helps employers address shortages of skilled talent.\"}]","INDIANA COLLEGE COMPLETION REPORT 2022 - INTRODUCTION | PDF",1792052436,83]
