About CAPSEE

From 2011 to 2017, the Center for Analysis of Postsecondary Education and Employment (CAPSEE) carried out research in partnership with five states—California, Michigan, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia—to better understand the employment and earnings benefits associated with a broad range of postsecondary education pathways, including those at the subbaccalaureate level. CAPSEE also sought to identify policies that improve completion rates along pathways leading to strong economic returns. The Center was established through a grant from the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education.
