These goals are critical to the achievement of the Plan’s vision for postsecondary education in Nebraska. Measuring Accomplishments is produced annually to measure progress made towards achieving these goals.  \n• Nebraska has historically outranked national attainment statistics for adults 25 to 64 with an associate’s or higher. However, the most recent data indicates Nebraska’s bachelor’s or higher attainment is slightly lower than the corresponding national rate.  \n\n|  | 2013-2017 |  | 2018-2022 |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Associate’s + | Bachelor’s + | Associate’s + | Bachelor’s + |\n| Nebraska | 44.5% | 32.8% | 47.8% | 35.7% |\n| National | 41.4% | 32.3% | 45.0% | 35.8% |\n\n• Nebraska currently ranks in the middle of the nation for public high school graduation rates (2021-2022 = 87.1%, rank 21) . Nebraska was last ranked in the top 10 in 2016-2017 (89 . 1%, rank 9) .  \n• Preparation for college and college continuation rates have also declined since pre-pandemic levels, though Nebraska ranks higher nationally with these metrics.  \n\n|  | Met All 4 ACT Benchmarks |  | College Continuation |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | 2019 | 2024 | Fall 2018 | Fall 2022 |\n| Percent | 22% | 18% | 61.7% | 59.0% |\n| Rank | 5 out of 17 states | 3 out of 13 states | 14 | 10 |\n\n• While graduation rates vary by cohort definition, Nebraska consistently ranks low for four-year bachelor’s completion rates at the state’s public four-year institutions (41.0%, rank 32) . Six-year completion rates for Nebraska’s public two-year (44.6%) and four-year institutions (69 .6%) are generally ranked in the middle of the nation (rank 22 and 24, respectively) . As shown below, graduation rate rankings differ by institution.  \n\n|  | 150% Graduation Rate |  |  |  |  | Four-Year\u003Cbr>Graduation\u003Cbr>Rate |  | Graduation Status at Six Years |  |  |  | Median\u003Cbr>Federal\u003Cbr>Loan Debt |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n|  | Total |  | Low-Income\u003Cbr>(Pell) |  |  |  |  | First-Time\u003Cbr>Full-Time |  | Non-First-Time\u003Cbr>Full-Time |  |  |\n| \u003Cbr>NCTA\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>  -\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>-\u003Cbr>|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\n| UNK   |  |  |  |  |  ","cbCaihN82RQ5kxvu","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihN82RQ5kxvu","pdf",1455176,38,"English","# Key Takeaways - 2024\n## Statewide goals and purpose\n## Attainment and graduation rate outcomes\n## College preparation and continuation\n## Completion and loan debt by institution\n## Funding and affordability","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of Measuring Accomplishments (2024)?\",\"answer\":\"It is produced annually to measure progress toward Nebraska’s statewide postsecondary education goals using national comparisons and institutional peer comparisons.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Nebraska attainment compare with national results?\",\"answer\":\"Nebraska has historically ranked higher for associate’s or higher attainment, but the most recent data shows bachelor’s-or-higher attainment is slightly lower than the national rate.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the report say about funding and affordability?\",\"answer\":\"Funding and affordability remain key concerns, including Nebraska’s ranking for need-based grant aid per FTE and the share of family income required for full-time enrollment, with relatively better performance in median federal loan debt versus peers.\"}]","Measuring Accomplishments - Key Takeaways - 2024 | PDF",1792057054,96]
