Illinois Latino College Landscape Study

In 2021, only 26% of Latino adults aged 25 to 64 in Illinois earned associate degrees or higher, the lowest educational attainment of all racial/ethnic groups.

To better understand the educational attainment disparity, the Latino Policy Forum initiated the Illinois Latino College Landscape Study in partnership with the Illinois Workforce and Education Research Collaborative (IWERC).
