AI Summary
This bill requires higher education institutions that are eligible for state student aid and offer four-year degrees to develop and disclose detailed employment opportunity information for each of their major fields of study. Specifically, institutions must provide information on the potential job market in Minnesota for each major, including the median income or income range for those jobs and whether an advanced degree is typically required for employment in that field. This information must be posted on the institution's website, with a link and brief description also included on the main institutional website. While not required to print this information in school catalogs, these catalogs must include the website address and a brief description of the available employment information in a prominent location. The goal of this bill appears to be increasing transparency for prospective students by providing them with clear, practical information about potential career outcomes for different academic majors, helping students make more informed educational and career planning decisions.
