Back to College is a series of reports that illuminates the millions of Californians who stopped out of college before completing their degree and now pay the price through diminished earnings and limited economic and social mobility.

Part Two outlines straightforward recommendations policymakers should incorporate to empower these adults to return to college, graduate, and thrive in California’s innovation economy.
