Abstract	The Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) sought to identify those institutions helping students overcome barriers to college completion and achieve a livable wage. This analysis of Illinois 4-year postsecondary institutions highlights those institutions which fostered degree completion and job success with less debt for underrepresented minority students, first-generation students, and low-income students. Combined, this group is defined as traditionally underserved students. This study focuses on some of the most relevant variables for later financial success: graduation rates, including for minority students; earnings after graduation; and student debt and default rates. A ranking system was devised that emphasized Illinois institutions that are strong academically, but are attainable and realistic options for students who have average ACT scores and high school GPAs. The ranking methodology was applied used in Holt, White, and Terrell (2017), with some adaptations, to generate a new metric and identify the top 4-year postsecondary institutions in Illinois for graduating underserved students and transitioning them to employment, while helping students to accrue minimal debt. By creating a tailored or personalized ranking formula, researchers were better able to identify those institutions that are leading the way and fostering success for underserved students. Correlates of these success metrics among these universities and colleges were also investigated. [For the Executive Summary, see ED578865.] (ERIC).
