How State Data Systems can Help Measure Higher Ed Outcomes

Description:

State leaders want to understand which programs at which colleges are producing the best economic returns for students.

Join us in this session to learn how looking at longitudinal data can help us understand the connection between earnings and education—and how to help states and institutions ask and answer these questions and support policies that set students up for success.
