Master Plan Dashboard

Article VIII, §5 D (4) of Louisiana’s Constitution requires the Board of Regents to “formulate and make timely revision of a master plan for postsecondary education….” On August 24, 2011, the Board of Regents adopted The Master Plan for Public Postsecondary Education in Louisiana: 2011 outlining the long-term goals for the State’s colleges and universities through 2025. The Master Plan outlines 3 broad goals. To assess progress towards the three goals, the plan contains 19 objectives and 97 performance measures. The Master Plan is evaluated annually.

Goal 1: Increase the educational attainment of the state’s adult population to the SREB State’s average by 2025
