The latest Undergraduate Degree Earners report finds 3.4 million learners earned undergraduate credentials in 2024–25, up 3.2% from the prior year, driven by faster, more flexible pathways. More students are completing credentials earlier, often through dual enrollment before finishing high school. “Stacking” awards is rising, with many earning an associate degree before a bachelor’s and maintaining momentum toward workforce goals.
