Commit to Complete: Overview

The cost of higher education is a topic of discussion for students, parents, and policymakers across Nebraska. For Nebraska’s business community, a shortage of highly skilled workers in high-demand fields is at the top of their mind. Currently, 32.8% of college students at Nebraska’s public four-year colleges and universities graduate in four years—and 25.1% of college students at public two-year colleges graduate in two years.1 When students take additional time to complete their degrees, they risk increasing their educational costs and taking on more debt, delaying the start of their careers, and limiting their earnings potential. That’s why Governor Pete Ricketts and the University of Nebraska, Nebraska State College System, Nebraska’s Community Colleges, and Nebraska’s Chambers of Commerce are partnering on a new public awareness campaign created for all Nebraska public institutions of higher education, “Commit to Complete”. The statewide campaign will send a message that Nebraska leaders are unified in their commitment to improving retention and timely graduation rates to meet the urgent workforce needs of the state. Our goal is to help students understand why it’s important to earn their degree more quickly—and show them and their parents how to do it.
