As the nation strives to meet the growing need for talent to drive
today’s knowledge economy and democratic society, more and more
Americans agree that increasing postsecondary attainment is critical. In
fact, consensus has never been stronger that higher rates of
college-level learning are needed — both to ensure the nation’s progress
and to enhance the lives of millions of individual Americans. That’s

many colleges and universities, and the president all have set goals to
significantly increase higher education attainment. We at Lumina
Foundation also work toward such a goal, one we call Goal 2025. By the
year 2025, we want 60 percent of Americans to hold a high-quality
college degree, certificate or other credential.
