In 2021, 68% of all jobs required at least some postsecondary education. By 2031, that proportion will grow to 72%. High-paying jobs for less-educated workers sound alluring, but our projections show that it's not realistic. bit.ly/3mLAy5R

Yesterday, we announced that Albertus Magnus College has achieved Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) status. The dedicated Albertus faculty and staff identified this goal back in 2020 in our “Albertus 2025” strategic plan. Albertus is New England’s first Catholic college HSI.

Claims about college’s declining value are generally misleading. One article points out that new college grads are more likely to be unemployed, while leaving out how much less likely young adults are to experience unemployment if they have a degree. bit.ly/3Nzutno
