The University of Minnesota Progress Card is a set of institutional metrics designed to be an at-a-glance roadmap of progress in key areas of importance to the institution, the state, and the broader community. The Progress Card is intentionally limited in nature to provide focus on strategic but measurable goals for the institution. The Progress Card is aligned with operational metrics and strategic plans at the campus and system levels.
