Educating for the Future. 2022 Update
Sisaket, Lesley
Minnesota Office of Higher Education
In 2015, the Minnesota Legislature enacted a goal that 70% of Minnesota adults (ages 25-44) will have attained a postsecondary certificate or degree by 2025. In recognition of existing gaps in attainment, the law also sets 30% and 50% educational attainment benchmarks for all races and ethnicities as interim goals. Current estimates show that 63.0% of Minnesotans aged 25-44 years completed a postsecondary credential. This percentage increased as compared to 2015 estimates (57.5%). This yearly report provides an update on where Minnesota is at in their state postsecondary educational attainment goal. While Minnesota is making progress towards the 70% educational attainment goal, attainment gaps persist among Black, Indigenous, and persons of color. In order for Minnesota to maintain economic growth and ensure continued prosperity, the state and its colleges must engage communities of color and American Indian communities in postsecondary education.
