There are 25 community colleges and universities in Ohio enrolling more than 185-million students, according to CollegeSimply.
Three community colleges in Ohio increased their graduation rates by 50% over the past six years under a new program called Accelerated Study in Associate Programs.
Jeff Robinson, director of communications for the Ohio Department of Higher Education, said the program is especially beneficial for adults with families who are either returning to school to complete their degree, or enrolling for the first time. The program also boosted the earnings of participants by 11%, compared with a control group, according to data by the nonprofit MDRC.
"That means employers are getting skilled workers," Robinson pointed out."That helps both the regional economy and the state economy."
