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.
