Credentials of Value

By 2031, nearly three-quarters of American jobs will require some sort of credential beyond a traditional high school diploma. While a bachelor’s degree from a reputable institution continues to be the surest path to the middle class for many, it is not the only path, nor the right path for everyone. Some students graduate with credentials for which there is little job demand, while others pay too much for their degree. Still others are seeking more choices and a broader set of pathways to economic mobility.
