The Colorado Commission on Higher Education presents its master plan as an urgent call to action. If the state of Colorado is to prepare its students for changing workforce demands and maintain its high quality of life and vibrant economy, it must invest more in the educational attainment of all its citizens. Today Colorado faces a critical decision: Invest in expanded access in order to mitigate affordability and equity gap challenges or bear the weight and financial burden of an undereducated citizenry. In this plan, the CCHE reaffirms a statewide credential attainment goal of 66 percent by 2025 for our adult population. Our economy demands it.
