(BISMARCK) – North Dakota has joined a national coalition committed to increasing the number of students to complete their college careers and attain degrees or other postsecondary credentials. It’s called the Complete College America Alliance. North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum and the North Dakota University System made the announcement today. Data from a 2023 Lumina Foundation report shows more than 56 percent of North Dakotans ages 25-64 hold a college degree or postsecondary credential. Burgum said North Dakota’s future success ‘depends on our ability to align higher education with workforce demands and the changing economic landscape.’
