College graduate gap projected by 2022, state says

BOSTON – Massachusetts boasts a higher proportion of college-educated adults than any other state, but could see that number decline instead of grow within six years unless public college enrollments grow and more students complete their degrees, according to a new state report.
Titled "The Degree Gap," the report released Wednesday by the Department of Higher Education says shifting demographics mean public colleges and universities will likely fall short of meeting the need for graduates with associate and bachelor degrees by 55,000 to 65,000 people.
