This dataset provides the number of graduates who enrolled in each type of postsecondary education per district.

Wage records are obtained from the Massachusetts Department of Unemployment Assistance (DUA) using a secure, anonymized matching process with limitations. For details on the process and suppression rules, please visit the Employment and Earnings of High School Graduates dashboard.

This dataset is one of three containing the same data that is also published in the Employment and Earnings of High School Graduates dashboard:

Undergraduate tuition and mandatory fees for each public Massachusetts institution of higher education, FY2014 - present. Rates are based on Fall, resident state-supported rates.

Weighted averages are calculated based on % undergraduate FTE of total Segment and overall. (FTE figures used for calculation are one year in arrears due to reporting schedules)

Massachusetts Maritime Academy (MMA) and Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MCAD) are reported separately because they are specialty schools and, for the purposes of Performance Measurement, are not compared to other MA state universities.

This dataset contains data on the number of students participating in designated Early College programs since school year 2020-21. Early College is a program that designates partnerships between high schools and colleges to support high school students to complete college courses. The list of designated partnerships is available here.

Students are counted in this dataset if they are marked as an Early College student by the district. The district also submits each student's affiliation with a single institution of higher education (IHE), though some Early College students take credits at more than one IHE. The period column allows you to filter for Fall or Spring, or to see the full-year deduplicated count of participants.

The dataset is updated after each semester, when the SIMS collection for that semester is certified.

The data here are the same as the participation data in the Early College Dashboard.

Data note: For the Fall 2021 collection, only 2 digits of the college code were stored, so college names could not be loaded. The incomplete 2-digit codes are shown in this dataset, but the college name field is blank for that collection.

This dataset contains data on credits registered and earned by students in designated Early College programs since school year 2021-22. Early College is a program that designates partnerships between high schools and colleges to support high school students to complete college courses. The list of designated partnerships is available here.

Students are counted in this dataset if they are marked as an Early College student by the district. Credits are counted in this dataset if they are submitted to DHE. The credits are counted based on where they are taken, even if that is an institution of higher ed (IHE) outside of the student's designated Early College partnership. Credits from Fall and Spring semester are counted; summer credits are not counted. Data includes any credits at public IHEs (Wentworth Institute of Technology data have not been submitted as of July 2024), and '22-23 data from private IHEs that are part of an Early College designated partnership.

The dataset is updated in the fall of each year to add in the previous year's credits. Credit counts are suppressed (hidden) for groups in which there are fewer than 6 students to protect student privacy, though those credits are still counted in totals.

The data here are the same as the credit data in the Early College Dashboard.

The Post-Secondary Employment Outcomes (PSEO) is an experimental data product from the US Census Bureau containing earnings outcomes and employment flows for recent graduates of partner colleges and universities. These statistics are generated by matching university transcript data with a national database of jobs. Only graduates who earn at least the annual equivalent of full-time work at the prevailing federal minimum wage and work three or more quarters in a calendar year are included.

This report presents data and information about student preparedness for workforce and post-graduate success in Massachusetts, including high school enrollment, graduation, coursework, participation in Designated High School College and Career Pathways (After Dark, Career Connections, Career Technical Education, Early College, and Innovation Career Pathways), college attendance and persistence, and wages.
