This report provides a resource of accurate, timely and comprehensive facts about higher education in Minnesota. It includes comparisons over time as well as national and peer institution comparisons to add context for the interpretation of the data. It is expected to be used by a number of stakeholder groups such as legislators, educators and researchers. The document is organized into three sections: (1) Preparing for and Entering College; (2) During College; and (3) Outcomes of College.

The Office of Higher Education organizes and designs templates of tables and graphs to enhance the understanding and interpretation of the findings. Producing a useful and high quality public resource is part of the mission of the Office of Higher Education.
