This report provides the Nebraska Legislature with comparative statistics to monitor and evaluate progress toward achieving three key priorities for Nebraska's postsecondary education system: (1) Increase the number of students who enter postsecondary education in Nebraska; (2) Increase the percentage of students who persist and successfully complete a degree; and (3) Reduce, eliminate, and then reverse the net out-migration of Nebraskans with high levels of educational attainment. These priorities were developed by the 2003 LR 174 Higher Education Task Force and are incorporated in Neb. Rev. Stat. § 85-1428 (3). These priorities are part of a goal set in 2022 that 70% of Nebraskans aged 25 to 34 will have a degree, certificate, or credential with value in the workplace by 2030. This summary highlights the comparative analysis used to measure and evaluate performance with respect to each priority and includes comparative information by race, ethnicity, and gender for high school graduation rates, preparation for college, postsecondary enrollment, postsecondary retention and graduation, and educational attainment. The report compares Nebraska to other states and presents information by sector (University of Nebraska, Nebraska State Colleges, Nebraska Community Colleges, and independent Nebraska colleges and universities).
