Purpose
According to the Lumnia Foundation's 2015 annual report, A Stronger Nation through Higher Education, Arkansas is home to over 500,000 adults, or almost 35% of the population, who are high school graduates but have completed no college hours. Another 350,000 have some college credits but no degree. Based on these statistics, it is clear that a significant change in higher education attainment levels in the state can only be achieved through a concentrated effort to encourage adults to return to college, or enroll for the first time.
Master Plan Goals Relevant to Adult Learners:
GOAL 2: Increase by 50% the enrollment of adults, age 25 to 54 by fall 2018.
