Colorado’s higher education challenges•Workforce needs – We won’t have enough
educated Coloradans to fill our state’s jobs in 2020.
• Education pipeline – Fewer than 25 percent of Colorado 9th-graders earn a college degree.
• Completion gaps – The fastest-growing segments of our population are least likely to earn a degree.
• Shifting financial burden – The share of college costs paid by students has doubled in 10 years.

Our goals: Meeting the challenges
CCHE’s master plan sets four primary goals:
• Increase degree attainment by at least 1,000 credentials a year to meet workforce demands.
• Improve student success through better remedial education, enhanced support services and reduced average time to degree completion.
• Reduce completion gaps among students from underserved communities by enhancing access to, and through, postsecondary institutions.
• Restore fiscal balance by increasing state support of higher education while promoting affordability, accessibility and efficiency.
