North Dakota joins national coalition of states working to raise college completion rates

Gov. Doug Burgum and the North Dakota University System (NDUS) announced that the state of North Dakota has officially joined the Complete College America (CCA) Alliance, a national coalition of 53 states, systems, institutions of higher education, and other organizations committed to increasing the number of students who successfully complete college and attain degrees or other postsecondary credentials.

“North Dakota's future success depends on our ability to align higher education with workforce demands and the changing economic landscape," Burgum said. "Strengthening our commitment to closing workforce and talent gaps is critical to ensuring that we not only adapt but lead the way in the decades ahead. By collaborating with national leaders and experts, we can empower more of our residents with the skills and credentials they need to thrive, while addressing the needs of our students and our state."
