SCPS AND DEGREE COMPLETION

Students

SCPS

We are doing good in the world…

… and there were challenges we needed to address

Enrollment • Budget • Culture • Management

Over 25% of students in US higher edu are ‘non-traditional’

Add in working adults with some college credit, no degree…

… and adults who want better jobs (e.g. certificates)

The Virginia Plan for Higher Education: Be the best-educated state by 2030

Virginia is on a roll…

Start by doubling the size of our program, with the goal of impacting 10k students across Virginia

Unify the Commonwealth around degree completion and partner with the state, business, and other higher education institutions to move the needle

Champion innovative approaches to serve new populations of students, build ladders to careers

Degree Completion at UVA

Certificates are an important part of a “last-mile” training and reskilling-on-demand strategy

THANK YOU!
