(Harrisburg, PA) The Pennsylvania State Board of Higher Education (SBHE) released a set of data dashboards yesterday that allow users to explore key aspects of the state’s higher education system, including enrollment trends, affordability, graduation rates and the production of degrees and credentials tied to workforce needs. 

Officials said the dashboards mark the first time this information has been made available to the public in a consolidated format. 

The tools bring together previously reported data in one location and present it through interactive graphics designed to make it easier to analyze trends in Pennsylvania higher education. 

The dashboards cover five main categories: enrollment; credential and degree attainment; affordability; funding and finance; and postsecondary workforce credential supply, demand and gaps. 

Each dashboard includes filters that allow users to sort and view data based on specific interests.
