Michigan College Access Network
At the Michigan College Access Network (MCAN), we believe that college is for everyone. That’s why we work to increase college readiness, participation, and completion rates in Michigan, particularly among low-income students, first-generation college-going students, and students of color. Our goal: Increase the percentage of Michigan residents with degrees or postsecondary certificates to 60 percent by the year 2030. Our Vision and Values: College is postsecondary education: We use the term “college” to refer to the attainment of valuable postsecondary credentials beyond high school, including professional/technical certificates and academic degrees. College is a necessity: Postsecondary education is a prerequisite to success in a knowledge-based economy. Everyone must pursue and complete a postsecondary credential or degree beyond high school. College is for everyone: The postsecondary education attainment rates among low-income students and students of color are significantly lower than those of other students. We are committed to breaking down these barriers. College is a public good: Postsecondary educational opportunity and attainment are critical to a just and equitable society, strong economy, and healthy communities.
