520 The United States, long considered to have the best higher
education in the world, now ranks eleventh in the
proportion of 25- to 34-year-olds with a college degree.
As other countries have made dramatic gains in degree
attainment, the U.S. has improved more slowly. In response,
President Obama recently laid out a national "completion
agenda" with the goal of making the U.S. the best-educated
nation in the world by the year 2020. Getting to
Graduation explores the reforms that we must pursue to
recover a position of international leadership in higher
education as well as the obstacles to those reforms. This
new completion agenda puts increased pressure on
institutions to promote student success and improve
institutional productivity in a time of declining public
revenue. In this volume, scholars of higher education and
public policymakers describe promising directions for
reform. They argue that it is essential to redefine
postsecondary education and to consider a broader range of
learning opportunities--beyond the research university and
traditional bachelor degree programs--to include community
colleges, occupational certificate programs, and
apprenticeships. The authors also emphasize the need to
rethink policies governing financial aid, remediation, and
institutional funding to promote degree completion.
