The Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC) brings together leaders from 12 Midwestern states to strengthen postsecondary education, advance student success, and promote regional economic vitality.

MHEC programs and initiatives save member states and students millions of dollars annually through time- and cost-savings opportunities. MHEC research supports workforce readiness and improves the quality, accessibility, and affordability of postsecondary education. MHEC convenings bring together leaders and subject experts to share knowledge, generate ideas, and develop collaborative solutions.

MHEC works with higher education system leaders, state policymakers, legislators, and institutional leaders in its member states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

MHEC is governed by a 60-member commission, with five commissioners appointed from each of the 12 member states.
