Minnesota 'above average' on college graduation
Apparently, we're as smart as we think we are. Consistently ranked among the healthiest and best-read states in the nation, new Census data shows that we may also be among the smartest. Minnesota ranks fourth in college completion rates among adults 25-54 with 49.8 of folks in that bracket having completed college. Our neighbors to the northwest, North Dakota came in a slot ahead of us at #3 with 50.8 percent of their adult population donning college graduation caps.
