Master Plan Data Apps Toolkit
This toolkit contains data apps used to measure progress towards Louisiana’s Master Plan Talent Development Goal of 60% attainment by the year 2030. Using traditional higher education statistics such as enrollment, retention, completion, and demographics in conjunction with broader, societal measures like income, poverty, and employment stakeholders are able to track changes in overall state well-being and prosperity over time.
Includes 9 interactive attainment metrics, disaggregated by race/ethnicity, geography, and age range, that can be filtered by system and by institution type to track progress and inform decision making.
Used to measure prosperity across Louisiana with a focus on whether it is being achieved equitably. Higher scores always indicate better outcomes, but may not represent actual values.

Article VIII of Louisiana’s Constitution authorizes the Board of Regents (BoR) to develop a master plan for higher education in Louisiana. This Master Plan provides a broad vision for the State’s higher education system and acknowledges its interdependence with the economy and its many contributions towards better lives for Louisiana’s citizenry. The actions outlined in this Plan are guided by the reality that Louisiana must raise the educational attainment of its adult citizens if it is to compete successfully in the 21st century world economy. The Plan also addresses the need to strategically invest in targeted research to sustain and expand the State’s economic development. Finally, increased accountability is a common thread which undergirds every element of this Master Plan.
To move Louisiana aggressively forward, the Board of Regents has embraced a robust new attainment goal that calls for 60% of all working-age adults (ages 25-64) in Louisiana to hold a degree or high-value credential by 2030. As we stand on the brink of a new decade, this Master Plan, born of the Board of Regents’ unique charge to guide postsecondary education across the state, will set the foundation to increase opportunity. Our Talent Imperative is to Educate, Innovate, and Collaborate.
