As the economic benefits of higher education attainment become more widely recognized, the public, business leaders and higher education institutions are paying more attention to the impact that college completion can have on economic development. There is a growing consensus that new models are needed to expand knowledge and strategies to develop the human capital needed for today’s economy.
