4. BRIDGING OPTIONS IN DESR
Strategic Goal 5: Increase college affordability for students by implementing student-cost-saving approaches.
5.3 Each campus establish bridging options that facilitate student placement into college-level courses (i.e., partnership with Adult Basic Education, summer bridge program, bootcamps, course placement assessment prep, etc.).

5. Why? Minnesota has some of the largest disparities in the nation.
High school graduation rates, academic preparedness, post-secondary degree attainment, home ownership, health, income, etc.
With three-quarters of the jobs in Minnesota requiring some post-secondary education and with 70% of the state’s population growth over the years ahead coming from communities of color, we cannot afford to leave anyone behind.
Minnesota State is educating the communities of the future.
62,800 students of color and American Indian students
50,000 first‐generation college students
92,000 low‐income students
Developmental education reduces disparities and provides access to higher education.
Underrepresented students are less prepared for college-level courses and are disproportionately enrolled in developmental education; Ensuring their success is critical.
