Consequently, despite extensive literature, numerous…

In this brief, the authors explore how students who complete multiple higher education programs should be treated in earnings data. The authors survey how existing policies and proposals address the topic and weigh the pros and cons of each approach and consider how different goals for earnings data might merit different approaches. This…
