From Some-College-No-Degree to Success: Postsecondary Pathways for the 40 Million
Inside Higher Ed’s report on the more than 40 million learners with some college, but no degree focuses on the challenges and opportunities for this population and the driving forces behind this trend of “stopping out.” The stakes are high not only for learners’ professional opportunities and earning potential, but for communities’ economic and social wellbeing. By sharing insights on supporting learners who were enrolled in college but never completed a degree, the report outlines key actions policy makers and institutional leaders can take to better serve them. Through holistic policies and practices, credit transfer initiatives, and alternative credentialling programs, these learners can move towards postsecondary education success and, ultimately, upward mobility.
