About us
The mission of the National College Attainment Network (NCAN) is to build, strengthen, and empower communities and stakeholders to close equity gaps in postsecondary attainment for all students. In today’s economy, a college degree is in greater demand than ever before. Unfortunately, issues such as rising tuition costs and confusion about complex college admission and financial aid processes keep many qualified students from entering college. Many of those who do enroll face additional challenges finding the support and resources they need to graduate. These factors have left today’s young Americans less likely to obtain college degrees than members of their parents’ generation. NCAN works to reverse this growing college opportunity gap. At NCAN, we unite the key organizations dedicated to increasing college access and success. With our members and partners, we develop and support programs and policy solutions that help more students enter and complete college and other postsecondary training.

The National College Attainment Network (NCAN) recently published an article on the importance of data, and how data can create equitable processes and decisions toward students' success during and post-college. “Data plays a vital role in measuring and addressing gaps in student outcomes. A set of metrics have been developed to track early momentum toward completion, such as credit accumulation and gateway course completion. These leading indicators help institutions intervene early and ensure students stay on track for success. Additionally, measuring post-college outcomes is essential to determine if students are earning credentials of value that lead to economic opportunity and mobility.”
